Landmark Medical Center
Special Treatment Program
Group Placement Philosophy / Criteria for Group Assignment
Assessment Level Silver
All new admissions will initially be placed in this group to assist the resident in acclimating to the facility as well as to assess the resident’s level of functioning so as to determine the proper course of treatment.
Concentrated Treatment Level Green
Residents who are unable to tolerate the standard groups or who have minimal participation in the program may be referred to this group. The intent is to create involvement on a more individual basis to ensure regular interaction between the resident and the group leader.
Treatment Level Purple and Red
These levels are designed to assist residents who are lower functioning. The goal is to assist residents in meeting some realistic treatment goals, engage the resident in the treatment process, and to prepare the resident to move to the next level. Groups are generally more activity-based with minimal pressure to perform verbally.
Treatment Level Orange and Pink
These levels are designed to assist residents who continue to manifest symptoms related to their illness (i.e. poor impulse control, lack of insight, delusions, and hallucinations to the point of regularly interfering with their ability to interact with others, etc.) This level intends to assist residents in learning new coping strategies for managing their symptoms, reintroduce them to familiar tasks, and prepare them for discharge.
Treatment Level Yellow and Gold
These levels are designed to prepare the resident for a successful transition back into the community. Residents have already displayed an improvement in managing their symptoms but still need some social skills training. The residents at these levels focus on social skills and community-based activities to prepare them for re-entry into the community.
