Mental health hospitalization – adult

Sometimes your mental health condition requires care that is urgent and more intensive than what is available in outpatient mental health treatment. Our psychiatric hospital programming provides a safe, structured and calming environment where you receive 24-hour care and treatment from a coordinated team of mental health experts.

We will thoroughly assess and evaluate your condition, stabilize as needed, and provide focused treatment. Time spent in the hospital is meant to be short, so a plan will be developed for continued care outside of the hospital.

The treatment plan is unique to your particular condition and needs. Our goal is to help you return to positive mental health and wellbeing—and prepare you for a successful transition to outpatient care, and home.

Your inpatient care may include:

• individual and group psychotherapy (talking through problems)
• educational programming
• family involvement
• medication management
• treatment and crisis planning.

Some of the mental health conditions we treat in the hospital include:

• anxiety
• bipolar disorder
• depression
• mood disorders
• obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
• panic attacks
• post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• schizophrenia
• thoughts of suicide.

• Hospitalization is the highest level of care for a mental health condition. If you are not in a crisis or emergency, talk with your primary care or mental health provider about the right course of treatment.
• If you are experiencing a mental health emergency or crisis, call 911 or go the Emergency Room to determine the right course of action for you. This may or may not include hospitalization.
