Medical
& Psychological Services
Many
factors can contribute to homelessness, including medical and psychological
issues. Successful management of these issues, both financially and
personally, is integral to successful transition from homelessness to
self sufficiency. To that aim, Morningside's staff assists clients in
addressing these issues.
This
can take many forms, such as:
Arranging
attendance at Alcoholics Anonymous or similar self help groups.
Providing
individual counseling relating to substance abuse.
Monitoring
the appropriate use of prescribed medications.
Act
as a advocate in obtaining available medical and psychological services.
Coordinate
educational opportunities such as films/guest speakers/group discussions
on the subject of drug and alcohol addiction, interventions, recovery,
treatment and prevention.
