Harbor House provides routine on-site physician and nursing
services. All clients admitted to the Primary Care Residential
Treatment Program undergo a comprehensive nursing assessment
and medical evaluation by a licensed physician. In some cases,
the Treatment Team or nursing personnel require that the
client undergo an examination by a Harbor House physician
prior to admission. This is done to make sure that the client
has substantially completed detoxification and to make sure
that the client’s medical needs do not exceed our on-site
clinical resources.
The medical staff handles minor illnesses and injuries,
dispenses medications, makes referrals for specialty medical,
surgical and mental health services, assists clients in establishing
relationships with community-based primary care medical and
mental health providers, collects specimens for drug screens
and helps to secure low cost and free medications through
drug company programs.
