Psychiatric Care Facility

A Psychiatric Care Facility that Cares for The Patient

There are several types of mental disorders that people could suffer from, whether they are developmental, genetically inherited, or caused by a traumatic event. Mental health awareness is picking up across the world, educating people about these disorders and the negative impact that they have on people suffering from them. Some people are immediately judged by others as being “below” them when they reveal that they have a mental disorder, which is why it is a sensitive topic. Luckily, we offer a psychiatric care facility where we take care of the patient as an individual and not just another mental health case.

Beethoven Recovery Centre’s Approach to Psychiatric Care

We employ a world-renowned programme that can be tailored to suit the needs of the individual, as it features a wholistic approach that goes beyond the mental illness and addresses the entire being. Our programme stretches over 7 weeks, with a voluntary second phase that focusses on social reintegration and building a new life when you leave of our care. When it comes to mental disorders, some are completely treatable, while others require recurring treatments. This brings us back to putting the focus on the needs of the patient, first and foremost.

Our Ideal Location

Our psychiatric care facility is located just outside Pretoria, with the Hartbeespoort dam on one side and the Magaliesberg mountains on the other. Being surrounded by beautiful mother nature, we create a peaceful environment that allows our patients to focus on themselves and their treatment as opposed to constantly be distracted by city noises and familiar surroundings. We also offer extramural activities at our facility to allow our patients to relax and enjoy themselves when they are in our care. Our facility also has a gym for those who want to keep in shape. Our psychiatric care unit admits people of 16 years and older.

Different Types of Mental Disorders

Developmental disorders include intellectual disability disorders and pervasive developmental disorders that commonly have childhood onsets and can persist into adulthood. People with developmental disorders can suffer from an impairment or delay in functions that are directly correlated to the maturation of the central nervous system. As opposed to other types of mental disorders, developmental disorders are more steady and consistent over time, whereas others can be sporadic and go through periods of remission or relapse. Autism is a good example of such a disorder, having a noticeable impact on social interaction and communication.

Genetically inherited mental disorders share only a couple of characteristics with developmental disorders. However, mental disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder tend to be episodic, although they are genetically inherited. Bipolar disorder affects an approximate 45 million people around the world, while schizophrenia is estimated at around 20 million people having this disorder. Both these disorders are medically and psychiatrically treatable, which is where our psychiatric care facility can be your solution.

Can A Mental Disorder Develop on Its Own?

For the most part, mental disorders can either be genetically inherited or developmental. However, there are mental disorders that develop as a result of a traumatic or life-threatening event, and can also develop due to specific social behaviour, substance dependency, and age. Therefore, nobody is “above” mental illness. It is pivotal to consider your mental health on a consistent basis, as it is as important as your physical health, if not more important. There is no shame in seeking professional psychiatric care at a facility that is equipped to take care of you. This is where Beethoven Recovery Centre can be your answer.

Break the Ties That Bind

Mental disorders can completely dictate a person’s life, whether it is severe depression or autism. Our psychiatric care facility gives our patients the opportunity to receive the professional treatment that they need to take back control of their life. We also have a rehabilitation centre that assists people to break free of their substance dependencies and live a life of sober living wellness.
