Psychiatric day clinic 1

Day Clinic 1 forms the bridge between an inpatient stay in hospital and further outpatient treatment with a registered doctor, specialist or psychological psychotherapist or the psychiatric outpatient clinic (PIA).

With 12 places, we treat mentally ill patients from the regional catchment area.

Day clinic treatment makes sense if outpatient care is not sufficient and full inpatient therapy is not yet or no longer necessary. The decisive factors for admission are the patient's need for treatment, consent and sufficient motivation and ability to agree.

An important prerequisite is that the patient wants treatment and can reliably reach the day clinic every day, as well as being able to stay at home at night and at weekends without medical care. However, the day clinic is not the right form of treatment for every illness. If an addiction (alcohol, medication, drugs) is at the forefront, inpatient treatment and proof of abstinence are prerequisites for day clinic treatment.

The facility offers space for adults who are integrated into an individually tailored therapy program during this time without having to give up their familiar surroundings. The treatment directly addresses everyday problem situations. We support patients in restoring their ability to act and their quality of life. In addition to activating resources, we focus on expanding personal skills in order to achieve stability and flexibility in everyday situations .

The following mental illnesses in adults are treated in the day clinic, e.g.

• depression
• Adjustment disorders in psychosocial conflict situations
• Stress reactions following traumatizing events
• anxiety disorders
• Obsessive-compulsive disorders
• Somatoform disorders
• Eating disorders due to other psychological conflict situations
• Personality disorders
• Addiction disorders after long-term abstinence

For treatment in our clinic, you will need a referral slip from your specialist. Patients with addictions should register via an addiction counseling center, which will also provide follow-up care.

Please bring along:

• Referral certificate and chip card
• Swimsuit
• sports equipment
• Medication to be taken
• previous psychodiagnostic findings/medical reports

Your illness will be diagnosed during your first week with us. This is followed by further diagnostic tests, a doctor's consultation and an admission interview with the nursing staff. From the second day, you will take part in initial therapies such as exercise baths, movement therapy, relaxation training and the introductory talk for occupational therapy.

In the second week, you will start group sessions (3-4 times a week) and individual sessions with a psychologist (once a week). Further therapies such as therapeutic horse riding, sound relaxation or Snoezelen etc. are added depending on the clinical picture.

The day clinic hours are from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm. You will receive breakfast, lunch and coffee during this time.
There is no co-payment fee for the first 10 days of day clinic treatment.
An application for reimbursement of travel costs can be submitted to the respective health insurance company.
The duration of treatment can be up to 12 weeks.
