BRATTLEBORO, Vt. — The Brattleboro Retreat, a leading specialty psychiatric hospital for people of all ages located in Brattleboro is now accepting patients for its Healthcare Professionals Program.
Launched as a remote clinical service, the program offers partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming for currently employed and former nurses, physicians, dentists, EMTs, social workers, LNAs/CNAs, therapists, technologists, and other health care professionals who experience PTSD, anxiety, depression, stress, or substance use disorder as consequences of their jobs.
In a group therapy format, health care professionals address their personal challenges exclusively among peers, other health care professionals who understand the pressures of providing health care. The program’s partial hospital option consists of five groups per day, five days per week, Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., while the intensive outpatient option features three groups per day, five mornings per week, Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Participants receive personal orientations to establish individual treatment goals, as well as a consultation with a medical doctor. Group sessions are supplemented by one-on-one sessions to focus on personal needs and goals and to develop personalized aftercare plans. Time spent in the program varies according to individual needs.
