Helios Psychiatry Clinics Hildburghausen

Helios Psychiatry Clinics Hildburghausen is an advanced private center founded in 1866 with a rich history. As a military hospital, it developed rapidly during the First and Second World Wars and was later requalified for psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care in a modern renovated building in 2014. The clinic area with 446 beds includes departments for child and adolescent psychiatry, psychotherapy, psychosomatics, and neurology. In addition, the dispensary for forensic psychiatry and psychotherapy has 128 beds, and a house for people with disabilities with 48 beds. In 2018, the hospital management completed repairing the adult and youth psychiatry departments and opened a professional psychosomatic and psychotherapy clinic with a day hospital. Helios Clinics in Hildburghausen are fully licensed to train future psychiatric specialists and nurses.  In addition to the activity for medical personnel, the hospital cares about educating patients and the population. Seminars about eating disorders, stuttering, dementia, and cancer are available to the public. Doctors use additional treatment methods to implement the fastest rehabilitation and support team spirit: sports, group walks, picnics, fitness days, rock climbing, and a public reading of authors' books. The Hildburghausen Psychiatry Clinics have an electroconvulsive therapy anesthesia room, an important therapeutic choice for some patients who, despite long periods of psychotherapy and medication, cannot get adequate help or for patients with life-threatening conditions. In addition to psychiatric care, the Helios Medical Centre provides care to neurological patients. The stroke unit, which operates following the specified instructions, received the "Regional Stroke Unit" certificate under the quality standard of the German Stroke Association and the German Stroke Foundation. Furthermore, in 2015, the German Multiple Sclerosis Society certified the neurology clinic as a "Considerable Sclerosis Focus Centre" for the latest treatment methods and careful patient care. According to the interviews' results, the visiting commissions' members for quality control of the stay of psychiatric patients testified that the specialized clinic provides high-quality assistance to people with mental illnesses and is always distinguished by its desire to arrange patients with high-quality diagnosis and therapy.
