therapeutic path

Taking charge takes place both privately and through the National Health System.

Each request for inclusion is examined by the entrance manager and discussed by the therapeutic team.

The direct knowledge of the future guest follows through meetings and interviews in order to be able to define which of the structures in the Fermata d’Autobus circuit is the most suitable.

Some reception days are defined in the identified structure; if the outcome is satisfactory, an observation period is agreed upon. The observation period is approximately 15 days during which the guest is evaluated from a psychodynamic and relational point of view, for a better identification of his needs.

If the outcome is positive, we move on to entering the facility and developing the therapeutic project.
- The facility's psychiatrist works to monitor the psychopathological picture, -
a family therapist meets the family members,
- a psychotherapist takes care of him individually if this is deemed appropriate.

The residential period takes place in one of the Bus Stop Communities.
During this period, the Individual Therapeutic Program is developed in which the objectives, times and methods of the rehabilitation process are indicated.

The guest has the possibility to choose the reference operators in agreement with the treatment group.
The developments of the program are constantly monitored and shared both with the health services that referred the guest and with the family members.
During the period in the community the guest can maintain contacts with the outside world, although regulated by the operators, while the family relationships most useful for processing will be facilitated of previous experience.

In general, it can be said that the objective of this first phase is the involvement of the guest in the daily life of the house for a progressive assumption of responsibility. Furthermore, participation in laboratory activities helps him find new ways to use his time and express himself.

When the guest has acquired greater autonomy from the symptoms and is able to distance himself from his addiction, the transition process begins.
In this phase the guests are accompanied along the steep path of emancipation.
It is a delicate moment of transition in which it is necessary to test what has actually been internalized.

Other external occupations can be added to the internal occupations of the structure and where possible, relationships and activities interrupted during the phases of greatest discomfort are recovered.

Individual interviews and psycho-pedagogical groups maintain a fundamental role and help the guest to reflect on all aspects of his "emancipation": the care of himself, of his spaces, money management; they also help him to recognize any signs of discomfort and to ask for help promptly.

The main objective is to help the subject to seek pleasure and manage his free time without implementing the destructive methods previously used.

The most functional tool for a correct reintegration into the social context is that of the Apartment Group, a place where the guest is placed in the position of managing their daily life in an increasingly autonomous way.

Within the Apartment Group the presence of non- it is constant; therefore it becomes essential for the guest to know how to exploit the skills previously learned.

Psychotherapeutic interventions and external activities are intensified. From a perspective of co-planning the guest's future social reintegration, collaboration with public bodies and the family is central.

The stop in the Fermata d’Autobus circuit reaches its conclusion when the guest has recovered a good balance and above all the ability to manage any moments of crisis.

To help the patient travel the last stretch of the road that will lead him further Bus stop, the role of the family is fundamental and must be oriented towards containing and processing the different experiences that the conclusion of the program can arouse.

Likewise, it is necessary to draw up a collaboration network with public bodies to structure a possible external treatment program and help the user to find, if lacking, an adequate housing solution and employment.
