About Instituto S. João de Deus – Ponta Delgada

Instituto S. João de Deus – Ponta Delgada is a psychiatric hospital beside the city of Ponta Delgada on São Miguel Island in the Azores, where the Hospitaller Order of St John of God has worked since 1928. Three areas are stated: mental health and psychiatry; alcohol, addictive behaviours and dependencies; and psychosocial rehabilitation.

Known locally as Casa de Saúde S. Miguel, the hospital has served the island community since the Brothers arrived in August 1928. The addiction area offers detox, clinical stabilisation, psychotherapeutic follow-up and progressive community reintegration under the Instituto S. João de Deus model: intensive inpatient programmes for severe dependence, clinical risk or where a safe detox is needed, with outpatient treatment, a day unit or structured follow-up otherwise. Treatment is voluntary and respects the person’s autonomy. Programmes run privately and in articulation with the Azores regional health service, and first contact is through 296 201 600 or geral.pdelgada@isjd.pt.

Instituto S. João de Deus – Ponta Delgada Detox and Rehab Services

Instituto S. João de Deus – Ponta Delgada treats dependence on alcohol, illicit substances and misused medication through intensive inpatient programmes, outpatient treatment, a day unit and structured follow-up. Inpatient programmes begin with medical, psychological and motivational assessment and supervised physical detox, then move into individual and group psychotherapy, relapse prevention, skills training, occupational therapy and spiritual care.

Health education and relapse prevention run through the programme, and families are involved from the early stages with psychoeducation and family sessions. The multidisciplinary team spans psychiatry, general and family medicine, clinical psychology, nursing, social work, occupational therapy and spiritual care, working to an integrative bio-psycho-social and spiritual model that follows the person from first contact through to social and community reintegration. Programme details come from the operator’s network description rather than a São Miguel-specific page, so ask the hospital what is currently running on site.

Where Is Instituto S. João de Deus – Ponta Delgada?

Instituto S. João de Deus – Ponta Delgada lies next to the city of Ponta Delgada on São Miguel Island, Região Autónoma dos Açores; the hospital’s site does not print a street address or postcode, so the contact point is 296 201 600 and geral.pdelgada@isjd.pt. The setting is urban, on the edge of the city.

Opening hours are not published. Call or email before travelling for directions and to ask where to report on arrival. Inpatient admission follows assessment and is reserved for severe dependence, clinical risk or where a safe detox is needed; less severe cases are treated as outpatients or in the day unit. Programmes run privately and in articulation with the regional health service, so ask which route applies to you or a loved one, and whether anyone travelling from another island needs to arrange an admission date in advance.

How Much Does Treatment at Instituto S. João de Deus – Ponta Delgada Cost?

Published prices for Instituto S. João de Deus – Ponta Delgada weren’t found. Programmes run privately and in articulation with the SNS and the Secretaria Regional da Saúde e Segurança Social dos Açores, with no fee schedule. Self-pay psychiatric inpatient care costs €6,000 to €16,500 a month and day programmes €3,500 to €7,500 a month; contact the hospital for pricing.

Because articulation with the regional health service can mean an admission arranged through public referral rather than paid for directly, how you or a loved one is referred decides the cost. Ask the team on 296 201 600 which route applies, whether a day unit or outpatient programme would be appropriate instead of an inpatient stay, and what a privately funded place would cost for the expected length of treatment.

Instituto S. João de Deus – Ponta Delgada Reviews

Public reviews of Instituto S. João de Deus – Ponta Delgada from around the web are limited, which is common for a long-established psychiatric hospital on an island where discretion matters to former patients. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for the hospital, and anyone who has been through detox or an inpatient, day-unit or outpatient programme is welcome to share their experience.

Describing which programme you attended, how the assessment and detox were handled, how the team involved your family and what follow-up was arranged after discharge would help the next reader far more than a score. For individuals on São Miguel weighing treatment close to home against travelling to the mainland, that kind of detail is exactly what you or someone you care about needs.
