Steve Eisenstein, Staff Psychiatrist at Piedmont
Dr. Eisenstein believes that there is a big problem in the state with the lack of expertise in the treatment of the mentally ill elderly.There are many individuals at home and in nursing homes and adult homes that are not receiving the help they need.Medical and psychiatric treatment must be linked, and many can be harmed from inappropriate medication and inaccurate diagnoses.Dr. Eisenstein supports the proposal for a Transitional Living Center pilot project that would build upon the knowledge and resources available at Piedmont.If the pilot is successful, he supports the development of regional centers in the state.
