<p><strong>ABOUT JOHN DEMPSEY HOSPITAL PSYCHIATRY OUTPATIENT SERVICES</strong></p> <p>John Dempsey Hospital is operated by UConnHealth, which comprises five treatment and teaching facilities operated by the University of Connecticut schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine. Alongside a full array of medical services, the hospital — which is located in a pretty, wooded area eight miles west of Hartford, Conn. — offers <strong>outpatient psychiatric services</strong> for adults struggling with a wide range of mental and behavioral health disorders.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The outpatient psychiatry department provides only minimal information about the specifics of treatment. However, the facility's website does specify that <strong>therapy is offered in individual, group, and family settings,</strong> and that medical evaluations and management are available, too. The center uses <strong>evidence-based therapies,</strong> in programs designed to relieve individuals' symptoms and promote overall wellness. </p> <p>The department also works closely with the hospital's inpatient and broader psychiatry departments.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Treatment is administered by psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, clinical psychologists, social workers, and licensed psychotherapists. The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility three out of five stars for its staff's level of training and experience.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The single loved one polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the outpatient psychiatric department three stars for its family participation, its counseling options, and it ability to treat co-occurring disorders, adding that they were "unsure" about treatment specifics as they had not attended treatment themselves.</p> <p>Secondary review sites yielded no coverage for the outpatient psychiatry department at the time of this writing, and <strong>mixed reviews of John Dempsey Hospital as a whole,</strong> with two one-star ratings, two two-star ratings, and three five-star ratings spread between Google, Yelp, and CiteHealth — almost all of these reviews having been left by clients' loved ones.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small> The negative reviews repeatedly described <strong>inadequate and even inept treatment.</strong> "Being a longtime CT resident, I want to like and support the UConn health system but I have to be honest: my overall experience has me joining many others in saying how far it still must go before we can truly be proud of it," D.B. wrote on Yelp, adding: "The palpable bureaucracy at play unfortunately continues to hold this place back from being a hospital we can truly feel confident with across the board."</p> <p>However, two positive reviewers described <strong>an efficient and caring experience.</strong> "So many people have interacted with her to provide care and comfort and assistance to her that I am very grateful for," K.S. wrote on Yelp of her aunt's care at the hospital</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p> <p>At least 75 percent of the department's clients access services through <strong>Medicaid or Medicare.</strong> There is currently no further information provided on the facility's website regarding its costs, however, the single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave John Dempsey Hospital's psychiatric services three out of five stars for their affordability.</p> <p><a href="https://ctmirror.org/2017/06/12/uconn-health-finds-itself-pretty-ill-fiscally/" target="_blank">According to the Connecticut Mirror,</a> John Dempsey Hospital recently underwent a <strong>major refurbishment,</strong> completed in 2015, but the work failed to redress the hospital's financial woes. "Now heading into the second full year that many of the new facilities have been open, university officials say UConn Health’s fiscal picture is the worst it has been in a long time – and it is going to continue to deteriorate unless major changes are made," the Mirror reported in 2017.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/oSYR5j" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/oSYR5j</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/john-dempsey-hospital-farmington" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/john-dempsey-hospital-farmington</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="http://citehealth.com/hospitals/connecticut/cities/farmington/john-dempsey-hospital#reviews" target="_blank">http://citehealth.com/hospitals/connecticut/cities/farmington/john-dempsey-hospital#reviews</a></small></p>
