After a brief orientation by the clinical counselor, you will begin the ReVisions program. MUSC ReVisions is an intensive group therapy program, which means you will participate in several groups each day.

You will also have the opportunity to meet regularly with a social worker and a psychiatrist one-on-one. You will be asked to come to ReVisions five days per week. The staff will work with you to accommodate your schedule and ensure your needs are being met from our programming. There are many benefits of participating in an intensive outpatient program. Patients often find a stay in the hospital uncomfortable and less desirable than staying in their own home and own bed at night.

As long as your needs can be met safely at home, you can have the best of both worlds: the comforts of home in the evening hours, and receiving therapy and intensive treatment during the daytime. This program will help to ensure a smooth transition and decrease the risk of being re-hospitalized. Achieving an optimal outcome requires a serious commitment from the patient, as well.

The key to success is a willingness to participate in intensive psychotherapy groups and take an active role in your recovery. Patients who are actively psychotic, who have a serious drug or alcohol problem, or who have cognitive impairment dementia will not benefit from this type of program. Patients must also be able to manage walking, eating, and other activities on their own, or have an assistant to help. For more acute or complex problems, the Institute of Psychiatry offers several inpatient settings and services.

The Acute Adult Psychiatric Unit 4 North provides short-term acute crisis stabilization for a broad range of psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder, among others. The General Adult Psychiatric Unit 3 North has a fixed therapeutic schedule, designed to engage patients in their own treatment, once stabilized.

These inpatient settings provide psychiatric evaluation, management of medicines, behavioral treatment, occupational therapy, recreation therapy, and patient and family education and planning for care after discharge.

Patients are seen in our dedicated clinic space and the medical floors and in infusion settings. In addition to tobacco treatment, interns provide services for improving other psychological issues e. Interns will get hands-on experience in multidisciplinary treatment, providing motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. Interns are expected to communicate relevant treatment-planning information to a variety of medical disciplines including physicians, physician-assistants, nurses, and nurse-practitioners.

Interns conduct brief evaluations and psychotherapeutic interventions for admitted inpatients for all patients in our hospitals. Patients present with high levels of trauma exposure, co-morbid psychiatric disorders, and substance use problems including opiate use disorders or high risk for opiate misuse.

There is a high need for integrated medical and behavioral health care; until recently, the only services available were brief, supportive counseling and medication management provided by a consulting psychiatrist and psychiatry residents as well as brief psychological intervention to GYN populations by a psychology intern.

Interns will function as part of a multidisciplinary team of OBGYN physicians, nurses, psychiatry residents and fellows, and clinical psychology professionals. In addition to individual counseling, intern training opportunities may include facilitation of virtual groups for relapse prevention of OUD in OB populations, utilizing telehealth to maximize patient reach.

Interns are required to provide their own transportation to the site. Hours at the downtown location are 8 a. Hours at the North Charleston location are 8 a. About the Program. Clinical Training.

Associate Professor Pain Rehabilitation Program This rotation provides training experience in the Pain Rehabilitation Program at MUSC, the first intensive outpatient rehabilitation program for patients with chronic pain and opioid use in South Carolina.

These activities would include pre-program entry assessment to assess extent of opioid use and psychosocial evaluation of chronic pain; group psychotherapy services using cognitive-behavioral and acceptance and commitment therapy approaches to pain management; and individual psychotherapy using motivational interviewing to help patients overcome personal or situational barriers to program participation.

These trips will be conducted in conjunction with other MUSC outreach programs. At the conclusion of the rotation, interns will be able to: Accurately identify patients at risk for OUD using evidence-based screening methods.

Identify and respond to unique psychosocial challenges associated with diverse patients with chronic pain, especially those that represent treatment barriers facing underserved patients in rural SC counties. Assistant Professor Sharlene Wedin, Psy. Primary goals of this rotation: Interns observe groups that use a variety of evidence-based approaches and techniques, including motivational enhancement, cognitive-behavioral, psychoeducational, and process-oriented.

All groups are currently being led via home-based telemental health to observe social distancing. Interns will be able to independently conduct groups for patients with chronic substance dependence and addiction, using any combination of the techniques described above.

Demonstrating the ability to run groups from all four orientations listed above is necessary to merit an "advanced" competency rating.
