Coping with the emotional and psychological stresses of illness, injury, stroke, or surgery can take its toll. Fortunately, at MediLodge of Howell our professional recovery and rehab staff is both well educated and long experienced in these matters.
Throughout the recovery and rehab process, we do regular progress assessments and schedule care conferences to review a residents unique treatment plan – including whatever need may exist for psychiatric services.
