Service Overview
Outpatient services at Huye Isange Rehabilitation Center provide structured assessment, treatment, and follow-up care for individuals with substance use disorders and other mental health conditions who do not require inpatient admission. The service is designed to support early intervention, continuous care, and long-term recovery while allowing patients to remain active in their community.
Upon arrival, patients are received at reception and registered, with their clinical file created in the hospital information system. A nurse conducts the initial screening, including vital signs and basic assessment, before orienting the patient to the psychiatrist for a full clinical evaluation.
After assessment, the psychiatrist establishes a diagnosis and develops an individualized treatment plan based on the patient’s condition and needs. This may involve medical treatment, psychological support, or referral to other specialized services within or outside the center.
Key Outpatient Services Include:
- Psychiatric consultation, diagnosis, and treatment planning
- Mental health and substance use disorder assessment
- Medication prescription and management
- Psychological counseling and psychotherapy referrals
- Laboratory investigations and medical screening
- Follow-up consultations and progress monitoring
- Psychoeducation and relapse prevention support
- Referrals to specialized external health facilities when needed
Patients are regularly reviewed through follow-up visits to monitor progress, adjust treatment, and provide ongoing therapeutic support. Psychoeducation sessions are also offered to help patients and families understand addiction, improve coping strategies, and support recovery.
Through a multidisciplinary and coordinated approach, outpatient services ensure continuity of care, promote recovery, and help patients maintain stability while living in their community.
