Behavioral Health Services
Sometimes the stresses of daily life can be so great
that you may have trouble dealing with them. Or perhaps
you have a medical problem that keeps you from dealing
well with life's challenges. We can help you learn
to cope with those situations through our inpatient
Behavioral Health Services.
Our multidisciplinary staff includes psychiatrists, nurses, clinical social workers, activity therapists and other support personnel. They deliver compassionate, objective care
when you have trouble
meeting life's challenges.
Our 23-bed inpatient unit
provides a comforting environment for you to receive
treatment and recover. You may be
admitted by a licensed psychiatrist based on referrals
by primary care physicians, human service agencies
and
other mental health providers, or you may self refer.
Our staff will work closely with you and your family
to build trust and create a comfortable learning environment.
The individualized treatment plan developed for you
will focus on your specific needs.
During treatment, you will participate in a variety
of individual and group-focused activities to learn
more effective tools for living. As you make progress,
our staff will prepare you for the transition from
the
hospital back to your community.
Electroconvulsive Therapy
(ECT). As part of
our inpatient services, we offer electroconvulsive
therapy (ECT), which is a treatment
for severe depression that has failed to respond to
other medications. ECT is also a treatment option for
schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, catatonia and Parkinson's
disease with depression.
