Residential Program
The most comprehensive, structured, and intensive element
of The Renfrew Center's treatment is the Residential Program
offered at our centers in Philadelphia and Coconut Creek (near
Boca Raton), Florida. Residential treatment is designed to
help women who are struggling with acute psychological distress
alleviate their symptoms and address the underlying issues
that contributed to their admission. Individualized treatment
goals integrating psychological, psychiatric, and medical
perspectives are developed in collaboration with a multidisciplinary
treatment team and referring professionals. Experienced medical
care is available 24 hours a day.
An Intensive & Comprehensive Program
The Renfrew Center's Residential Program creates a community
of adolescents, women, and supportive professionals. Each
resident is encouraged to openly discuss her symptoms, struggles,
and successes in community meetings, therapeutic groups and
informal social interactions. As a result, women develop new
relationships based on mutual sharing and support. The Renfrew
community decreases the shame, secrecy, and isolation that
so often perpetuate symptoms and aims to inspire a renewed
sense of strength and determination in our residents.
Residential treatment at Renfrew takes place seven days a
week and provides an intensive and comprehensive program of
individual, group, and family therapy. Each woman is helped
to understand her physical and psychological needs in order
to facilitate her active participation in the recovery process.
Psychotherapy groups focus on topics such as assertiveness,
family patterns, sexuality, symptom management, and relaxation
to help participants develop insights and enhance their adaptive
coping skills. Through creative and experiential groups, residents
are able to express their thoughts and feelings and confront
underlying issues. Family therapy is also an integral part
of residential treatment.
Special Residential Tracks & Adolescent Programs
In addition to the multidisciplinary treatment that is a
part of every woman's care, Renfrew has developed special
residential tracks to address the specific needs of women
suffering from compulsive eating, trauma, or substance abuse
disorders. Renfrew has also developed a program to address
the special needs of adolescents.
Residential treatment is a brief, intense part of a woman's
ongoing effort to build and maintain a satisfying and productive
life. The Renfrew Center places great importance on the continuum
of care and on facilitating a smooth transition to a less
intensive level of care. Aftercare planning, including collaboration
with referring therapists or facilities, begins at admission
and continues throughout treatment to maximize the benefits
of The Renfrew Center's program and facilitate ongoing and
long-lasting recovery.
