Inpatient

Inpatient care includes separate programs for adults and adolescents with 24-hour nursing, daily interventions, and oversight by a psychiatrist. The program is intended to be short term and is designed to quickly stabilize the patient's most serious symptoms, allowing for a quick transition to less intensive levels of care.

Admission into inpatient care occurs only with a physician's order. It is for conditions that cannot be treated safely or effectively on an outpatient basis.

Advantages of inpatient care:

• Safe, controlled, structured environment
• Intensive physician involvement
• Physician-led, multi-disciplinary treatment team
• Use of medication and psychotherapy as appropriate
• Medically supervised detoxification (for alcohol and drugs)
• Intensive treatment not available on an outpatient basis
• Daily program with therapy groups and classes every day.
