Dear Colleagues:

I have just recently assumed the position as Service Director for the Outpatient Programs at Peachford Hospital.
At this time, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for allowing us to treat your patients. We are very proud of the product we have put together, and I would personally like to highlight all the positive things we are providing:

• 7 day a week programming for Psych, CD and Dual diagnosis
• Individual therapy sessions with psychiatrist
• Partial Hospitalization (9a.m.-3 p.m.) has 5 groups daily
• Intensive Outpatient ((9a.m.-1:00 p.m.) has 3 groups daily
• Separate Adolescent Program (Next Step)
• Parenting Classes
• Psychoeducational Groups include:
• Chemical Dependency/Relapse Prevention
• Medication Management
• Anger Management, Assertiveness Training
• Coping Skills, Healthy Life Skills
• Stress Management Skills
• Interpersonal Boundaries
• 24/7 free assessments and benefits verification

Please note that patients in our outpatient programs can be referred directly into either program or step down from inpatient hospitalization. I strongly encourage you to utilize our highly skilled staff in our outpatient programs; our patients benefit from their years of experience, compassion and professionalism.

Should you have any questions about our programs, please feel free to contact Erica Collins, Director of Business Development at (770) 454-2325.

Sincerely,

Michael Vaughn, MD
Outpatient Program Service Director
