<p><strong>ABOUT YALE NEW HAVEN PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL</strong></p> <p>Founded in 1826 and affiliated with the Yale School of Medicine, Yale New Haven Hospital offers an array of medical services, including a psychiatric department that offers <strong>medical detox, inpatient care, and outpatient programs</strong>. These programs are offered for adolescents, adults, and seniors struggling with mental and behavioral health disorders such as <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">dual diagnosis</a> and substance use disorder.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p><strong>Inpatient treatment is intended as a short-term measure only, with stabilization lasting two to four days</strong>. Admission for both adolescents and adults struggling with dual diagnosis begins with a comprehensive assessment of physical, psychosocial, and social issues. For geriatrics, treatment begins with a psychological and a brief neuropsychological assessment.</p> <p><strong>All inpatient programs offer integrative, multidisciplinary approaches.</strong> For adults on the dual diagnosis program, treatment combines biological expertise with <strong>12-step participation,</strong> relapse prevention, and social development training. The program also offers <strong>intensive individual and family therapy, psychoeducational groups,</strong> electroconvulsive therapy (ECT; when indicated), and <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">discharge planning</a>, which is conducted in collaboration with clients’ families and support networks. Yale’s website indicates that neither 12-step participation nor ECT is used for adolescent clients; <strong>the adolescent program does, however, coordinate and collaborate with clients’ schools.</strong></p> <p>Outpatient services include <strong>an adolescent intensive outpatient program (IOP)</strong> offered after school, which takes a cognitive behavioral and family systems approach. <strong>For adults, there are three IOP tracks:</strong> general psychiatric, dual diagnosis, and dialectical behavioral, for those struggling with severe personality disorders including borderline personality disorder.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Staff members in the substance abuse and dual diagnosis programs include psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, occupational therapists, milieu counselors, patient care associates, and recreational specialists. </p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by Yale regarding its living arrangements and related offerings, however, the six individuals polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility average ratings of three stars for its accommodations and 3.33 stars for its cleanliness.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Of the three anonymous alumni reviews received by Rehabs.com to date, <strong>one was positive and two were mixed</strong>. They rated Yale two and three out of five stars in family participation and exercise and leisure options, along with one star in counseling options and affordability.</p> <p>All three alumni praised the staff on the whole: “They were very supportive,” one anonymous alum wrote. Two alumni, however, added the caveat that they had problems with individual staff members: “Some of the people working there have bad attitudes,” one anonymous reviewer wrote.</p> <p>The positive alum rated the facility five stars in cleanliness, but the other two rated it only one star in cleanliness. More than one alum also noted that the facility was unclean: “For someone who is a germaphobe, based on my experience, I would not go back there,” one alum wrote. Isolated praise noted the “decent food,” and isolated criticism cited disorganization, heavy TV restrictions, and costliness.</p> <p>On Google, 13 reviewers to date rated the hospital an average 3.3 out of five stars, with five one-star ratings, one three stars, and seven five stars.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Alumni and loved ones were <strong>polarized on staff's quality of treatment</strong>. Alum Forrest wrote: "Professional, friendly staff, doctors who care and listen to their patients concerns. Good food," but alum Antoinette contrasted by writing: "Absolutely disgusting lack of care. Staff is negligent and doctors are too overburdened to care."</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>As with alumni, the three anonymous loved ones’ reviews yielded one positive report and two mixed ones. Affordability, exercise and leisure options, and holistic treatment offerings received ratings of only two and three stars from all three loved ones, while cleanliness received the highest ratings at four, four, and five stars. </p> <p>The most positive loved ones wrote simply: “Yale has the best treatment program in ct.” Reviews yielded no recurring criticisms, however, one reviewer wrote that their loved one was discharged before they had adjusted to withdrawal, and added: “Treatment was not individualized and follow-up was basically nonexistent.” “It was too large and too impersonal,” added another loved one.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p> <p>According to Yales website, the hospital is in-network with most managed care and government insurance plans, including <strong>Medicaid</strong>. Financial assistance is available for qualifying clients. </p> <p>In August 2016, the New Haven Register reported that Yale New Haven Hospital <a href="http://www.nhregister.com/general-news/20160802/yale-new-haven-hospital-ranked-best-in-state-by-us-news" target="_blank">had been ranked the best hospital in the state</a> by U.S. News and World Report — and that its psychiatric unit had been ranked tenth best in the country.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/1ekRKH" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/1ekRKH</a></small></p>
