Our Philosophy
At Montecatini, we believe in focusing on the whole person through an evidenced based approach to recovery, where the mind, body, and inner self are all essential components of well-being. Our philosophy is grounded in the following core values:
- Community and Support: We create a therapeutic community where patients feel safe, understood, and supported by peers and staff alike. Building a strong sense of community is fundamental to fostering lasting recovery.
- Individualized, Evidence-Based Care: We utilize the latest evidence-based practices and interventions to tailor our treatment plans to the specific needs of each patient. Our approach is rooted in clinical excellence and continuous improvement.
- Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Our diverse team of professionals, including therapists, dietitians, medical staff, and exercise physiologists, work together to provide comprehensive care. We believe that collaboration enhances the effectiveness of treatment.
- Empowerment and Independence: We focus on helping patients regain control over their lives, promoting self-efficacy and autonomy. Our goal is to equip patients with the skills and confidence needed to navigate life after treatment.
- Support System Involvement: We are aware the identified support person(s) can differ from individual to individual. Recognizing the crucial role support plays in recovery, we actively involve the identified key support people in the treatment process through therapy sessions and education. Strengthening patient’s support systems is essential to sustaining recovery.
