Mental Health - Inpatient Care

Patients are safely cared for by a highly trained therapeutic team of psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, recreation therapists and therapy aides

Immediate problems of living safely in the community are addressed such as: severe depression and anxiety, severe episodes of bi-polar disorder (manic depression), thought disorders such as schizophrenia, and the grave risk of suicide. Co-occurring alcohol and chemical dependency issues are also addressed.

Therapy includes individual and group treatment using psychotherapy, arts therapies and social/psychological education. Peer Support Counselors are available to provide each patient with guidance and advocacy from the perspective of a person successfully living and coping well with mental illness. This is a first-of-its-kind, nationally recognized program.

Care is well coordinated with family and social support networks so that discharge to independence is achieved rapidly, effectively and in conjunction with follow-up outpatient care, when needed. Patients are assisted with links to community services, financial, housing, outpatient mental health, transportation and health care resources (Medicaid, SSI, Disability, etc.).
