General Information
What is an inpatient program? What can I expect?
An inpatient program is a treatment program in an acute hospital setting where patients stay for stabilization in a secure unit. Inpatient services are designed around individualized treatment plans that are tailored to meet each patient’s unique set of needs in order to attain stabilization and begin the recovery process.
What is an outpatient program? What can I expect?
Our outpatient program is designed so that patients can receive the same treatment and structure as they would inpatient except they are allowed to return home each day. Our program treats mental disorders, substance abuse, and dual diagnoses. While in the program, patients can expect to attend group therapy, 1:1 therapy with your licensed counselor and/or social worker, receive sessions with their physician weekly, have any medication adjustments addressed if necessary, and receive a freshly prepared complementary lunch from our inpatient cafeteria. Another bonus is that if any patient needs immediate inpatient treatment our physicians can seamlessly step them up to a higher level of care; pending availability.
