Evaluation of day treatment center effectiveness

Abstract

A study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of the Day Treatment Center as an alternative to rehospitalization for chronic psychiatric patients. The project utilized a subject as his own control design comparing equal time intervals before and during Day Treatment Center involvement. The study demonstrates the efficacy of the Day Treatment Center as a therapeutic modality that not only helps prevent hospitalization, but also assists in decreasing the average length of stay when admission is unavoidable.
