About Intensive Neurobehavioral Rehabilitation

Every brain injury presents its own challenges, and some challenges are greater than others. Individuals who experience a moderate to severe brain injury often require specialized rehabilitation so that they can regain their skills and abilities, and address new problems posed by their injury. Aggression, anger, and self-control problems are common among brain-injured adults and can actually impede rehabilitation if not treated professionally. Other problems include:

• Aggression towards others
• Self injury
• Deficient judgment and problem solving due to cognitive deficits
• Frequent agitation
• Prolonged confusional state
• Seizure disorders and related behavioral problems
• Significant memory and learning problems
• Disruption of sleep/wake cycles
• Problems with attention, filtering and focusing
• Emergence of mental health problems or exacerbation of pre-existing
  mental health or substance abuse issues
• Other cognitive and behavioral problems which prevent successful
  completion of traditional rehabilitation programs

At Brookhaven Hospital, we understand both the physical and behavioral complications of a traumatic brain injury. That’s why we’ve created a unique program which is designed specifically for individuals experiencing difficulties as a result of a brain injury or other related neurological condition. Our Intensive Neurobehavioral Rehabilitation program offers a focused approach to rehabilitation for the individual with severe behavioral deficits.

The Intensive Neurobehavioral Rehabilitation Program includes:

• A high level of nursing and behavioral supervision
• Medication management.
• Occupational therapy
• Cognitive therapy
• Behavioral therapy
• Vocational services
• Support for social re-entry
• Personalized treatment plan

Through ongoing re-evaluation, the progress of each individual is measured, and changes are made to the plans to maximize progress. Brookhaven offers treatment in a secure, safe hospital environment, yet program participants enjoy the benefits of frequent therapeutic and recreational activities in the community.
