A Welcoming Atmosphere

Addiction to drugs, alcohol, and depression are just some of the patient cases here in the rehab center. Rehab Center facility is an institution of providing help and support for those patient who needs assistance. We have already establish a good facility and excellent service in providing conducive environment to our patients.

Working in the Rehab Center is one of the most fulfilling career in the world. I started working as a part time attending physician in one of the Rehab Center in our town. Looking at the different patients I knew I was in the right place. Every morning we make sure to provide good grooming care to each patient and letting them do morning activities like walking and stretching. After that, I usually I do counselling to my patients after they have taken their medicine. Engaging them into a conversation that will help them verbalize their feelings and emotion is one of the standard thing that I do to help them recognize what’s going on in with their mind. Verbalization of feeling can contribute a lot to their self-awareness.

In this institution, we unite in order to deliver a nurturing and positive environment. We allow our patients to do recreational activities during their break time so they can freely express themselves. Each patient have different situation therefore we have to know every detail of their life experiences to be able to give them the proper attention that they need. Usually, for drug dependent cases we do gradual withdrawal of the drug in their system. In that way, they will not have any violent reactions and their system will eventually get used to it. Everything has to be done with careful analysis and patience but the result can be very rewarding. I have this one patient who became very close to me and after she recovered from her depression she came back to visit me and gave me a gift. She was very thankful that I treat her not just my patient but like my own family by providing her the care and love. When I opened the gift, it was a straight razor gift set. I was very happy knowing that she remember that I wanted a nice straight razor like my dad always used!

Seeing my patient recover from their dark past makes me proud. The way they see life positively and improving their self for the better has always been the goal of the Rehab Institution. It may take a while to let them realize and appreciate the things and people around them but everything will be worth it once they accept the reality of life.
