He can write a customized prescription, and our on-site nurse can call the prescription in to our pharmacist and have the revised medications available in a matter of hours.
Will the client go on any outings?
Yes. Those participating in our Residential Treatment Program go on a half-day outing every weekend. Because the Program is limited to just six people, we are able to let the group decide on each week’s destination.

In addition, every Sunday morning Dr. Headrick takes those who are interested to a nearby Spiritual Center with him.
