Challenges and Solutions

Challenges and Solutions

Skyland Trail patients often have complex symptoms and treatment histories. Here are just a few of the many challenges patients face paired with the Skyland Trail programming designed to address those problems.

THE CHALLENGE

Misdiagnosis

Years of treatment for an inaccurate or incomplete diagnosis leads to treatment exhaustion and loss of hope.

HOW WE HELP

Diagnostic Clarity

A diagnostic assessment at admission and clarifying assessments throughout treatment ensure patients are matched with the most effective treatments for their diagnoses and symptoms.

THE CHALLENGE

Loss of Connection

Symptoms can lead to isolation, avoidance, or impulsive behaviors that interfere with important family and peer connections.

HOW WE HELP

Social and Family Engagement

Through peer connections, clients learn they are not alone. And through individual, group and family therapy, clients improve communication and interpersonal skills.

THE CHALLENGE

Unhealthy Daily Routines

Irregular sleep patterns, poor hygiene, or unhealthy eating often accompany an episode of mental illness.

HOW WE HELP

Reset to Healthy Living

Structured daily schedules re-establish sleep and meal schedules. 24/7 support encourages personal care and hygiene.

THE CHALLENGE

Unhealthy Behavior Patterns

Without insight or skills, people may try to alleviate pain or suffering with alcohol, substances, self-harm, or impulsive behaviors.

HOW WE HELP

Skills-Based Learning

Clients learn how their disorder affects their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. They learn to identify triggers and early warning signs and strategies to respond in healthy ways.

THE CHALLENGE

Lack of Interest

Interests, hobbies, and other meaningful activities are abandoned or avoided, leaving no opportunity for joy, fun, or exploration.

HOW WE HELP

Whole Person Approach

As their symptoms and mood improve, clients explore art, music, nature, recreation, and spiritual resources with our experts as tools to stay healthy.
