The goal of The Ridge is to promote the highest level of functioning for each patient with emphasis on individual, group and family therapy provided at the least restrictive level of care.

The treatment process begins with a comprehensive bio-psycho-social assessment to help diagnose any underlying medical or biochemical origins of disease. This comprehensive assessment includes:

• psychiatric evaluation
• history and physical
• nursing assessment
• psychosocial history
• recreation therapy assessment
• patient/family educational learning assessment

As indicated by patient need, the physician may order additional assessments including:

• psychological testing
• nutritional assessment
• laboratory
• radiology
• vocational rehab
• speech/language and hearing assessment

An individual's treatment plan will focus on attainable short- and long-term goals established with the input of the patient, the patient's family and referring professionals. Active family involvement in treatment is a critical component as the patient's recovery is often correlated to healthy family interaction.

The physician and social worker coordinate the discharge plan with the patient, their family and the referring professional.
