The Day Clinic on Oxford is a service in Rosebank/Saxonwold, South Africa for patients with complex, multi-disciplinary needs who may require a greater level of intervention than out-patient care alone can provide. We offer a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) informed approach to address a wide range of psychiatric presentations including Depressive Disorders, Bipolar Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Eating Disorders, and Personality Disorders.
The level of distress that patients present may require a greater level of intervention and containment that can be offered by out-patient care. The Day Clinic offers a bridge between the respite provided by inpatient treatment, and the opportunity to receive ongoing intensive support while addressing difficulties inherent in living a meaningful life. We provide an intensive treatment in a day care facility, which focuses on moderating intense mood / mood swings, reduces impulsive behaviour, improves relationship skills, and modifies feelings of chronic emptiness/suicidality. Patients entering our programme remain under the care of all existing mental health professionals with close liaison and effective multi-disciplinary case management.
