Inpatient Services

Inpatient Adult Services

Our adult inpatient programs serve people 18 years and older. We provide intensive treatment for those experiencing both acute and chronic behavioral crises. Our Adult Psychiatric Unit treatment programs teach the individual to more effectively cope with disruptive thoughts and feelings through a combination of relational therapy, life management strategies, utilization of social and community support systems, and pharmacotherapy. Our Rapid Inpatient Stabilization Service is designed to provide a brief Inpatient Treatment experience for those patients, who can quickly restore emotional stability and personal safety with highly focused treatment interventions and effective discharge planning. Adults with substance abuse or a combination of mental health and substance abuse problems are provided treatment on a dedicated unit that provides: a safe and comfortable withdrawal, and emotional stabilization through Medically Managed Detoxification; concurrent and post acute detoxification fully integrated psychiatric stabilization and rehabilitation services through our Co-occurring Psychiatric and Substance Use Disorders Program; and specialized relapse prevention and recovery management training in our Substance Dependence Rehabilitation Program. Through the successful practice of daily recovery skills and activities that promote self care, patients learn that it is possible to successfully attain, and maintain a program of personal growth and recovery.

Inpatient Child and Adolescent Services

Our inpatient services for children and adolescents include dedicated units for children, the Acute Behavioral Child Unit for youngsters ages 5 to 12 years; and adolescents, the Comprehensive Adolescent Psychiatric Services for youngster ages 13 to 18 years. Our treatment approach is grounded in affirmation and the restoration of self-worth for children who have experienced disruption of early attachment. Within a creative and healing environment, our staff provides specialized care for each child, guiding them on their path toward healthy coping, problem-solving and successful relationships with their world. An on-site fully accredited school supports the educational needs of our young patients.
