MUSC ReVisions is an intensive outpatient therapy program providing thorough, evidence-based care for many psychiatric illnesses, including:
This program provides treatment, education, and coping skills that help patients manage their symptoms and improve their level of functioning. The ReVisions program is offered to adults 18 years and older. ReVisions care and treatment options are offered as an alternative to hospitalization, and act as an additional resource when intensive mental health therapy may be required.
There are many benefits from participating in an intensive outpatient program. You’ll have a safety and support network that can help decrease the need to be in the hospital. Patients often find a stay in the hospital uncomfortable and less desirable than staying in their own home and bed at night. As long as your needs can be met safely at home, you can have the best of both worlds: the comforts of home in the evening hours, and receiving therapy and intensive treatment during the daytime.
For many people, weekly therapy sessions just aren't enough to successfully cope with the struggle of mental health conditions. The ReVisions program will act as an additional resource, along with your weekly therapy sessions, to help you get back on track.
For those who are just coming out of the hospital, it’s often difficult to make the transition, and patients are at risk of relapse and readmission. This program will help to ensure a smooth transition and decrease the risk of being re-hospitalized.
The MUSC ReVisions treatment team will work hard to help you meet your goals. Achieving an optimal outcome requires a serious commitment from the you as well. The key to success is a willingness to participate in intensive psychotherapy groups and take an active role in your treatment. Patients who are actively psychotic, who have a serious drug or alcohol problem, or who have cognitive impairment (dementia) will not benefit from this type of program. Patients must also be able to manage walking, eating, and other activities on their own, or have an assistant to help.
