  Brain Injury Treatment

Brain and Head Injury Rehabilitation and Long Term Living in Ottawa, Ontario.

BRAIN INJURY TREATMENT PROGRAMS
Our treatment programs are provided by a team of accredited health care professionals all with extensive professional preparation and experience in the area of acquired brain injury. In working together over the years, they have been able to fine tune programs, in concert with the client and their families, thus serving the client in highly innovative ways. Although more traditional forms of treatment can be provided as needed with our client population, the Plan B treatment option seems to have become the treatment plan method of choice for most of our clients. This method has been enthusiastically received by our clients, our clinicians and our referral partners in the field.

The Plan B method incorporates flexibility and applicability as its primary construct and begins with the fundamental question: What can we do within a treatment focus which has the highest likelihood of being of service to our client, their family and loved ones?

Our experience has taught us that in order to be successful in assisting our clients in regaining the life they desire, interventions must be predictable, consistent, repetitive, flexible and relevant. These interventions occur as well in an environment with a common collaborative focus by all concerned clients and professionals. Interactions in this common focus immersion environment maximize the possibility of learning relevant adaptive strategies which are practiced and reinforced daily. In time, these strategies have immediate and long-term applicability and have proven to be vital in assisting our clients in regaining the life they desire. We believe, our method of treatment with a plan B focus, helps to make this happen for our clients. As a consequence, varying treatment options are available.

CLINIC DAY TREATMENT OPTION
This option, more traditional in its focus, serves the clients within Ottawa and surrounding districts. Clients receive, as needed, alternative forms of ABI treatment focused on their specific needs. All treatment sites are available to the client as needed. Our tele-counselling service is available within this treatment option.

PLAN B TREATMENT OPTIONS DAY-WEEK CYCLE OPTION
Clients from outside of Ottawa, often accompanied by family members, come into our setting every week for a two to three day treatment cycle. While here our clients stay overnight at a local hotel near our facilities or in our residence. The day-week cycle is repeated as needed within the guidelines of the treatment plan. Our tele-counselling is an integral part of this treatment option when the client returns home.

WEEK-MONTH CYCLE OPTION
Clients, from outside of Ottawa, receive treatment for a one, two, or three week treatment period per month. While in Ottawa they stay at our residential facility. All treatment sites become an integral part of the treatment program. The week-month cycle is repeated as needed within the guidelines of the treatment plan. When clients in this cycle are at home, contact is maintained with therapists via telephone. This contact facilitates the generalizability and consolidation of the skills learned while accessing on site treatment in Ottawa.

IMMERSION TREATMENT
Full time residential rehabilitation where all of the clinical services and functional activity sites are available to clients, as needed.

LONG TERM LIVING
Full time residential services, inclusive of clinical therapies and functional activity sites are available to clients requiring intensive treatment. Long term living is available to those clients who no longer require the level of support necessary in the acute recovery stage of their rehabilitation, and for those who need support beyond what they can receive at home. Long term living describes the incorporation of a broad range of services available in a caring community where clients and staff work together in creating an environment where the special interests, talents and needs of our clients and families are recognized and validated.
