	Vacaville Psychiatric Program: Treatment Programs
		Treatment planning decisions are made as a team, although the psychiatrist/team leader has overall responsibility for treatment decisions.
		Treatment approaches are designed with recognition of shared psychiatric, social and psychological characteristics of the patient population.
		Upon successful completion of the treatment program, inmate-patients should be psychiatrically stable, have at least a basic understanding of their mental illness, and be capable of assuming a meaningful role in managing their mental illness with use of available supportive resources relevant to their specific living circumstance, and thereby maintain their optimal functioning level.

		From a treatment perspective, there is no short-term fix, and much of the time the comprehensive treatment of refugees must be considered long-term and supportive.
		We have learned that assessment and treatment must always be offered within a broad context that integrates ethnocultural factors, problems of language, metaphors and symbols, and with an awareness of adaptation and acculturation pressures (16).
		The treatment of the broad spectrum of veterans in Vet Center therapy groups, of American Indian veterans with indigenous healing approaches, or of Southeast Asian refugees in socialization group settings all have a great deal in common through their focus on group healing in a social context.

	Psychiatric Inpatient Stay for A Person with Developmental Disabilities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Psychiatric inpatient treatment is expensive and it is not surprising, therefore, that insurance companies are vigorously monitoring length-of-stay and insisting that the patient be discharged as soon as possible.
		They are insisting that "active treatment," (usually the initiation of psychotropic drug therapy) begin immediately after admission and that lengths-of-stay for developmentally disabled persons be similar to those for non-disabled persons with the same psychiatric disorder.
		Treatment with clonazepam (Klonopin ®), a sedating antianxiety agent, and/or treatment with neuroleptic therapy thioridazine (Mellaril ®) or haloperidol (Haldol ®) may have already been started for symptom-control, and such treatment may mask diagnostically-relevant behavior, e.g., middle of the night awakening.

	Psychiatric Advance Directives and the Treatment of Committed Patients
		Although advance directives were intended to facilitate patients' participation in treatment decisions, they have, as noted, the potential to prevent all treatment, even of patients who are ill enough to qualify for civil commitment under the prevailing dangerousness standards.
		And allowing advance directives to stand as written, the court decided, even when patients were committed, does not fundamentally alter the advance directive statute (although it might affect the provision of psychiatric treatment to involuntary patients), which the court held was the proper point of reference.
		Current research suggests that most patients who complete advance directives do not use these directives to decline all treatment with medication but rather to indicate preferences among alternative treatments or to inform future treaters of particular concerns, for example, the care of their pets while they are hospitalized.
