Criteria for Inclusion:
Candidates for this program have unresolved pain for longer than 6 months and it must be a diagnosis of exclusion. This means that candidates must have all probable diagnoses for their pain condition ruled out first and exercise all viable treatment options before a consideration of Chronic Pain as the final diagnosis. The Clinical Director and Head of Psychological services will screen you to ascertain whether or not you are an appropriate candidate for this program. Finally, our Nurse Case Manager oversees your treatment from admission to discharge.
Course of Treatment:
Treatment consists of a 3-day per week, 12-week program. Patients begin at a level consistent with their treatment goals. An additional 2 days per week is required under this program if you are planning to return to work.
