- Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is an inpatient
setting for adults requiring the highest level of nursing care/crisis intervention.
- Inpatient care is for adults who are in need
of 24-hour hospitalization. This program focuses on crisis intervention, assessment
and medication stabilization.
- Dual Diagnosis care is conducted separately
on a specialized unit for adults who have both acute psychiatric and chemical
dependency issues. This program focuses on psychiatric stabilization and 12-step
based chemical dependency treatment.
- Partial Hospitalization (Day Treatment) is
for adults who need intensive care, but do not require the overnight stay.
The program may be adapted to morning, afternoon and partial week.
- Intensive Outpatient (IOP) allows clients
to attend group therapy during the evening hours, while enabling the client
to return to the home and work environment.
Only a licensed physician can make the diagnosis
of a mental health disorder and approve a hospital admission.
What is treatment?
Treatment begins with a complete assessment
by a nurse and a physician. Based on this assessment, an individualized treatment
plan is developed.
Treatment consists of individual and family
therapy. Patients also participate in group therapy to focus on global issues.
As appropriate, medication may be used as an adjunct to therapy. Nursing, therapy
staff, physicians and the discharge planners work together in a collaborative
effort to maximize the benefits of treatment.
