Adult Psychiatric and Chemical Dependency Services

In today's frenzied society, we all face stress, anxiety and mild depression. That's normal. But what do you do when you find that you can no longer cope? What do you do when you experience unwanted behaviors or feel disassociated from family, friends, co-workers and even yourself?

When emotional problems render an adult incapable of normal functioning in the home or work environment, then it is time to seek professional help. Through our confidential, structured program, adults with emotional problems are returning to the mainstream, better equipped to cope with life's challenges.

A Multi-Disciplinary Treatment Approach

When an adult joins our safe, nurturing environment, he or she receives the benefits of our diverse team of therapists, which may include psychiatric nurses, psychologists, social workers, family counselors, patient counselors, activities therapists, teachers and aftercare counselors, all working under the direction of a physician. This team orientation optimizes success by bringing numerous clinical perspectives to the forefront.

Therapy Individual to the Patient's Needs

We do not treat problems; we treat individuals. The patient and family are encouraged to participate in the initial evaluation process, working with our clinical professionals to develop a comprehensive profile and history. An individualized treatment plan is then developed for each patient. Attainable short-and long-term treatment goals are established, so that progress can be measured. Our multi-disciplinary treatment team works closely with the staff psychiatrist and referring professional. Treatment focuses on helping the patient to identify the emotions and correct the behaviors that have created problems in his or her life.

Strong Components for Healing

A comfortable, homelike atmosphere allows for positive interaction, problem resolution and personal growth. Each patient participates in individual, group and activities therapy on a regular basis. Group therapy provides a milieu in which the patient can share feelings and experiences with others who have similar problems. The community environment encourages patients to cultivate trusting relationships with one another and the staff. The patient is evaluated not only by the treatment team, but by his or her peers in the program; this provides feedback and encouragement for progress.

Activities therapy provides the adult with optional avenues for expression. In addition, activities foster group interaction and often awaken personal talents.

Family Involvement

Family therapy is an integral part of treatment. Family members are encouraged to bring into the open and resolve the frustrations and hostilities that have developed. New lines of communication are opened that will lead to a more integrated, well-adjusted family unit.

Support After Discharge

After inpatient care is complete, a strong follow-up program ensures that the much needed support continues. A series of outpatient sessions in which patients continue to explore their feelings, especially regarding reintegration into the home and work environment, is often indicated. We also work with the patient's private therapist in order to facilitate a smooth transition from inpatient to outpatient care.

24-Hour Admissions and Support

Admissions are accepted on a 24-hour basis. Trained professionals are available around the clock to listen and help you determine your next step. The initial consultation is provided free of charge. For further details, or to schedule a consultation, contact the hospital admissions department.
The hospital strives to be as cost-effective as possible in delivering the highest standard of care. We work closely with patients, their families and insurance companies in determining all payment options available. The hospital is state-licensed and accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
