Our Programs
Two principles guide the delivery of treatment at Valley
Forge Medical Center and Hospital:
No two patients are the same, and:
No single approach to treatment is right for every patient.
Each individual who comes to us has a singular set of life
circumstances, cultural values, personality traits, and behaviors, which require
a specialized plan of care. It is our mission to strive to maintain a high
quality of care that "makes a difference" with each patient.
All patients referred to VFMC are assessed by a physician and
nurse prior to admission to determine the need for treatment and the appropriate
level of care, matching each patient's needs to the right treatment option.
Ongoing clinical assessment allows patients to move from one level of care to
another, across a full continuum of inpatient services
Once admitted, patients are placed in the care of a
multi-disciplinary team of professionals including medical physicians and
psychiatrists with training and experience in addictionology, nurses,
counselors, social workers, activities therapists, and physical therapists.
Our highly-credentialed staff represents a wide variety of experience and
expertise. As a result, VFMC is able to provide comprehensive array of
services to meet each patient's medical, psychological, and rehabilitative
needs.
VFMC is committed to maintaining an excellent
staff-to-patient ratio, giving each staff member the opportunity to build a
close relationship with the patients. The trust that develops becomes the
springboard for patients to speak openly and honestly, and ultimately to
understand their own individual strengths and stressors.

- Latino Services - El Programa Latino (L)

Few treatment resources exist for the Latino who speaks little or no
English and would benefit from attending a program where all counseling
activities are conducted in Spanish. Valley Forge Medical Center is
meeting this need by offering the first hospital-based treatment program for
Spanish-speaking patients needing detoxification or intensive
rehabilitation.
Existen pocos recursos de tratamiento pare Latinos que hablen poco o nada de
inglés, que los permita beneficiarse de
participar de un programa donde todas las actividades son conducidas en español.

llenando esta necesidad al ofrecer el primer programa de tratamiento de
hospitalización para pacientes que
hablen español y necesiten desintoxicación
y/o rehabilitación bajo supervisión
médica.
