Providing a safe, therapeutic environment for patients with psychiatric needs in a cost effective and sensitive manner.

 

The Behavioral Health Services Inpatient Program is designed to provide 24 hour supervision in a safe environment for patients over the age of 12 who may be experiencing symptoms of mental illness or emotional crisis and are unable to contract for safety or take care of their basic needs.  We accept both voluntary and involuntary patients into our 19-bed inpatient unit.

 

Patients are expected to participate in a full daily treatment schedule.  The treatment team includes the patient, the patient’s family, psychiatrists, nurses, occupational therapist, recreational therapist, social worker, licensed mental health practitioner, clinical psychologist, chemical addiction counselor, and dietician.

 

The primary goal is for the patient to safely reintegrate into the community so discharge-planning needs are addressed from the time of admission.
