The Homewood Disability Treatment Program (HDTP) combines the services available through the Homewood Health Centre - a nationally recognized mental health and addiction treatment hospital with the best national network of skilled mental health and addiction treatment professionals through Homewood Human SolutionsTM.
The Problem:
- 1 in 5 Canadians will experience a mental illness that will have a serious impact on their ability to function
- More than 60% of disability insurance claims in Canada are related to mental illness
- 2 out of three 3 people with depression do not get proper treatment
- Wait times to access care typically stretch beyond 4 months and sometimes years – particularly if inpatient treatment is needed
Our Solution:
Effective disability management for mental illness must go beyond “managing” disability to include both inpatient and outpatient treatment.
Treatment goals must incorporate strategies for successful work reintegration to minimize recurrence and relapse.
The HDTP drives cost out of the disability plan by:
- expediting access to the right treatment which can include inpatient care
- collaborating with all stakeholders including the family physician, and the disability insurance case manager
- delivery of a unique work rehabilitation based treatment model
The Benefits:
- Lower disability costs with a substantial return on investment – in excess of 100%
- Quicker recovery and return to work, resulting in fewer work days lost
- Employees that are better able to function at work and stay at work
