Behavioral Health:
The Behavioral Health Unit is a 16-bed, adult inpatient behavioral health unit. It provides 24-hour per day care to patients who need a safe, supportive environment.
The Behavioral Health accepts patients with a variety of stress related, mental health and/or psychiatric disorders, including:
Patients may stay on the unit an average of three to seven days, or in some circumstances, a longer length of stay may be necessary. Patients are admitted on a voluntary or involuntary basis.
All behavioral health patients participate in a highly structured environment that includes scheduled group activities including therapy, didactic and recreational activities. During a typical inpatient stay, services include medication management; group, individual and activity therapy; and other services as necessary. Aftercare is set up upon a patient's discharge with referrals to other community resources.
The behavioral health staff also provides crisis services to individuals through a 24-hour telephone response system. Proper referrals are made based on the patient's assessed needs and the on-call psychiatrist's recommendations. The number to call for crisis services is 989.725.8101.
