Inpatient Care
When someone with an acute psychiatric disorder is unable to function on their own, or poses a danger to themselves or others, inpatient treatment can be an effective option. Our inpatient treatment programs are designed to help adults manage immediate crises and achieve optimal functioning and emotional stability. Our family-oriented programs encourage all members of the patient’s support system to participate in the healing process.
Our multidisciplinary team provides stabilization, evaluation, planning and treatment services in a safe, secure environment with 24-hour nursing care. Trained behavioral health professionals address the mental, emotional and physical needs of patients, and help patients learn coping skills to manage their condition effectively.
We develop a customized treatment plan for each individual that draws from a variety of services and therapies, including:
- Activity and occupational therapy
- Medication management
- Memory and mental status assessment
- Individual, group and family therapy
- Patient and family education
- Stress management, coping and relaxation techniques
- Comprehensive care from evaluation through recovery
Individuals receive a thorough evaluation by a psychiatrist to determine the best course of treatment. Our behavioral health professionals provide patients and their loved ones with educational and emotional support, as well as continuing care services to help ease the transition into daily living.
Our inpatient hospitalization service offers private rooms for acute and sub-acute patients with treatment options that cover a broad range of conditions including:
- Chronic and acute depression
- Anxiety
- Other mental health conditions.
We provide separate care areas for male and female patients as well as geriatric patients with programs and treatment plan options tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
