It should facilitate the return of patients to everyday life. In Orava they opened the first psychiatric – SME

Trstená. Exactly the construction of a small two -storey building in the neighborhood of the psychiatric department, which is part of the Hornooravská hospital, took exactly a year. It has a daily psychiatric center, the only one of its kind in Orava and the fifth in the Žilina region.

« Mental illness does not end with overcoming it, it is a long -term treatment, » said Andrea Vajduliaková, head of Trsten Psychiatry. « We doctors will help patients medically, experts in the stationary will support the medical treatment psychotherapeutically. Patients need to gradually renew the scientific skills to be able to join society and can work normally again. »
In the new building there is a living room, relaxation zones and spaces for ergotherapy, arterotherapy or movement therapy. It will serve patients with schizophrenia, affective disorders, anxiety and personality disorders.
« The capacity of the bed departments is not enough, after the healing we have to release the patient home, but we must not lose contact with him, » explained the director of the hospital Marian Tholt. « This is the space where patients continue to go during the day, to adapt to treatment and normal life. I am glad that we have managed to expand the services towards them. »
Will make it easier to return to everyday life
The head of Igor Ondrejka sees the importance of the centers, especially in the fact that the patient can be hospitalized for a shorter time in the department and then does not wait for inspection in the outpatient clinic, which may be a month after dismissal from the hospital, but will start a comprehensive therapeutic program.
« It includes a number of rehabilitation, educational and psychotherapeutic activities, » said psychiatry expert. « This will help the patient easier to return to a normal, full life. »
Erika JurinováPresident of the Žilina Self -Governing Region (ŽSK), founded by the Trsten hospital, sees a new facility as an important part of modern healthcare provision.
« Mental health is an increasingly common topic in society and deserves full attention from the perspective of public investment.
The exact program and the number of days
The center will operate on outpatient care. The patient can spend 60 days a year. The therapy will come in the morning, after completing the exact program in the afternoon he will leave home.
« It will be where patients will find support in the psychotherapists’ team, but also in each other, » added the head physician Andrea Vajduliaková.
The new facilities were built in the Hornooravská hospital thanks to a project presented by the region in cooperation with the Hornooravská hospital. They received more than EUR 521,000 from the renewal plan. Another more than 73,000 was added by the hospital from its own resources.
In the coming weeks, the company is starting to reconstruct the palliative department, it will be financed as well. The hospital management is also planning to rebuild the building, where magnetic resonance imaging should be added.
