CopsAlive.com was founded to provide information and strategies to help police officers successfully survive their careers. We help law enforcement officers and their agencies prepare for the risks that threaten their existence.
We do this by Helping Law Enforcement professionals plan for happy, healthy and successful lives on the job and beyond. We think the best strategy is for each officer to create a tactical plan for their own life and career.
The Law Enforcement Survival Institute (LESI) works with individuals and organizations to help them create and sustain success in their lives and careers as law enforcement professionals. It is the primary goal of The Law Enforcement Survival Institute to become the preeminent source for training, resources and information about how to create and sustain a happy, healthy and successful life and career while providing superior law enforcement service to your community.
Hi LeRoy,
Thank you for the information and thank for for all that you are doing to assist those in need of help!
Riverside Center for Behavioral Medicine is a private In-Patient and Out-Patient facility managed by Grace Healthcare. Grace Healthcare is a privately owned long term healthcare organization that owns and manages skilling nursing, assisted living and rehabilitation facilities across the United States. RCBM understands that entering into treatment is a courageous decision. We consider it a privilege to be a part of your healing process.
We are a 68 bed hospital treating Acute Psychiatric, Specialized Geriatric Psychiatric and Chemical Dependency patients.
We are privileged to treat voluntary patients utilizing four primary programs: (WITH THE PATIENTS CONSENT WE COLLABORATE WITH THEIR CURRENT ATTENDING PSYCHIATRIST AND THERAPIST)
• Chemical Dependency Program- Patients are medically detoxed and receive treatment unique to their dependency needs. In addition, we offer an extended Rehab option for patients to continue their treatment if they so choose.
• Psychiatric Services Program- Patients with serious conditions such as
Suicidal Depression, Bipolar disorder, and Psychotic states are safely treated utilizing intensive group therapy, medication management and much more.
• Specialized Geri Psychiatric Program- Pre-evaluated geriatrics patients with serious conditions such as chemical dependency issues, Depression, Bipolar disorder, age related psycho-social stressors and various co-occurring health issues are safely treated in a warm and family friendly environment.
• Partial Hospitalization Program- Patients are offered a step down customized treatment plan; PHP (full day program) and IOP (Half Day Program). Our program offers daily support through intensive group therapy and individual sessions as the patient attempts to regain balance in their life.
What sets RCBM apart from other behavioral health facilities is that the patient chooses to enter treatment. Caring for the individual who volunteers for admission supports our compassionate Whole Person Care approach where each patient is treated with dignity and respect. Each day starts with the intention of possibility. As bells ring through the hospital we hear an auditory reminder to be grateful that we made it through another day. Patients leave the serene atmosphere of the alumni courtyard to a goals group where they are supported in establishing a meaningful goal for the day.
RCBM’s passionate multidisciplinary staff leads education groups on healthy relationships, symptom management, relapse prevention, medication and nutrition. The clinical team facilitates process groups seven days a week to help patients explore the core issues underlying the presenting crisis. Living in balance begins in treatment by following process groups, with “living well” groups such as meditation, yoga, crafts, activities, massage, etc.
RCBM approaches patients with the goal to restore health, renew spirit and support the treatment teams delivery of teaching skills and motivation necessary to live a better life. Each patient meets with their psychiatrist daily to adjust medications and ensure stabilization, and in addition meet their treatment team weekly to create an individualized direction of care. Each evening concludes with an opportunity to reflect on the day’s accomplishments and any new insights gained.
RCBM understands in treating the Whole Person, family involvement is essential. Families are encouraged to participate in the recovery process by coming to visitation, attending family education, and seeking their own support through programs such as Families Anonymous, Al-Anon, NAMI, etc.
