This program is designed for patients who have less stamina or have outside
commitments that prevent them from attending the full day program.
The program runs from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, two half days per week (Monday
and Wednesday), over a 7 or 8 week period. It provides the same content
as the Full Day Program but in a less intense format.
Three to four months after the program has been completed, the patient
returns for two half days of “follow-up” sessions. This is
an opportunity for patients to review their pain management plans and problem
solve any challenges with the staff and group members.
In addition, patients are followed individually and as necessary by the
medical internist and psychiatrist at approximately three-month intervals
following completion of the program.
Participation in future follow-up groups and/or the Chronic Pain Support
Group is an option. Attendance is arranged by contacting the nurse or
social worker directly.
