The Follow-up Program
One full year of follow-up:
After completing either the intensive 26 day or 14 day pain management program successfully it is expected that you will feel significantly better and be on
the road to health and better functioning. You will, in all likelihood still be somewhat "fragile" physically and emotionally therefore it is very important
that you participate in the aftercare or follow-up program for one full year.
If you leave nearby, your schedule will be as follows:
- weekly visits after discharge for 12 weeks.
- depending on patient need, tapering visit pattern to twice monthly for 2 or 3 months.
- then monthly visits for the remainder of the year
The actual frequency of visitation in the follow-up program can vary depending on patient need but the above "ideal" follow-up pattern averages about 22 visits in the year following the intensive 26 day or 14 day residential program.
In the case of distant patients, some of the follow-up can be by way of telephone check-ins with your assigned staff member to strengthen and maintain progress. These forms of follow-up are best when combined with the scheduled in-person follow-up visits. Internet (e-mail) transmission of updates from patients are also possible as our e-mail is encrypted (coded) for privacy. In some instances, webcam appointments are available by arrangement.
