Therapies

Therapists routinely incorporate physical, occupational, and speech therapy enhanced by state-of-the-art restorative technology to rebuild function. Staff seamlessly integrate tools like the Bioness Vector Gait System to help patients recovering from strokes or spinal cord injuries regain mobility and muscle control.

Addictions

This specialty medical campus focuses strictly on physical, cognitive, and neurological rehabilitation rather than substance use issues. Individuals seeking treatment for acute addiction will need to contact a dedicated detox or behavioral health center.

Conditions

While primarily focused on physical and neurological healing, the medical team includes neuropsychology experts who address how brain injuries and nervous system disorders influence a person’s behaviors. Patients navigating the secondary emotional or cognitive impacts of severe medical trauma receive compassionate, comprehensive support throughout their stay.

Issues

The clinical experts at Bloomington Regional Rehabilitation Hospital are highly experienced in treating the complex, multifaceted challenges brought on by traumatic brain injuries (TBI), severe strokes, and medical trauma. Whether navigating the immediate aftermath of a sudden incident or managing a chronic illness like multiple sclerosis, residents receive individualized care designed to restore their desired quality of life.
