REHABWORKS
PROGRAM DEMO

Thank you for your interest in RehabWorks. The material below offers an initial look inside the RehabWorks platform and is provided for you to review at your convenience.

Part I: Practical Application
Perhaps the best way to get a good sense of what RehabWorks is all about is to dive in and see some practical application of the course material. We'll begin this demo presentation by jumping straight to the final module of the curriculum, which is the review module for the course. Here you'll see how families use the course material to address some of the most common problems that arise during the course of treatment and how to prevent these from sabotaging treatment efforts.
Here you'll see how course material is used to help families navigate real-life situations and avoid some of the most common pitfalls that lead to poor treatment outcomes.
Module IV: The Educated Consumer Checklist
What do you say when they say, "_________________________________"??
Module IV Preview
Module IV is a review module that's designed to help families remain engaged with the course material after they've completed the first three primary content modules.
The unique aspect of this module is that it identifies common trouble areas and redirects families back to specific course material that gives them tools for responding to potential treatment challenges in an effective and proactive manner. The videos below provide a unique opportunity to see RehabWorks in action. You'll get a good view of how much material the curriculum covers, and you'll also see how we avoid potential cracks in the treatment foundation by bridging the gap between the client, the family, and the treatment team.

Part II: RehabWorks Curriculum Review
In this section we're going to take an in-depth look at the RehabWorks program content, structure, and delivery format.
The video we're going to watch here is taken from a family education webinar where Jim Savage goes through the RehabWorks curriculum and demonstrates what a powerful tool this can be for enhancing family treatment support. The advantage of hearing this being presented directly to families is that it provides the added perspective of being able to see how RehabWorks addresses their specific needs, inspires them to take action, and ultimately offers hope.
In this video:
- A Framework for Treatment Success:
- Module I: Education
- Module II: Boundaries
- Module III: Measuring Treatment Progress
- User survey responses
- Case study: Using RehabWorks to:
- prevent AMA discharge
- extend length of stay
- support treatment planning
- improve outcomes
- Multi-media format: videos, custom PDFs, worksheets
- Benefits for families
Part III: Webinar
For the final section of this RehabWorks demo, we're going to invite you to view a webinar presentation titled "Navigating The Road To Successful Recovery For Your Loved One."
This is a major presentation—90 minutes, to be exact. If you're able to sit down and view the entire presentation from start to finish, that would be great. But we realize that's a lot to ask as far as a time commitment, so the video we're providing here is a "replay" version of the webinar that allows you to pause, fast-forward, rewind, etc. That way you can jump around in in it and preview specific sections of it at your convenience.
However, our reason for including this here is that this presentation provides a much broader context for examining RehabWorks and conveying the purpose it serves from the perspective of improving treatment outcomes through effective family engagement.
In this webinar:
- The family in treatment:
- Problem: Gaps between the client the family, and the treatment team
- Solution: See how RehabWorks bridges the gap
- Strategies for effective family support:
- Becoming an "Educated Consumer"
- Boundaries
- Measuring Treatment Progress
- The Paradox of Intervention and Control
- Motivating families to establish their own recovery
