Behavioral Health

We understand how difficult it can be to realize there is a need for counseling and special care for a loved one. Behavioral health problems can be extremely challenging—particularly for family members. Our Behavioral Health team can help your loved one get the treatment and support for a safe transition back into everyday life through our inpatient or outpatient programs.

Our staff of specially trained psychiatric caregivers can provide intensive assessment and intervention to diagnose an illness or condition. After diagnosis, your loved one can become an inpatient or an outpatient, depending on the program of care that is determined to be the best.

Inpatient care

Our 15-bed inpatient unit is located in Union Hospital on the fourth floor. Because patients are residents, they benefit from our full complement of medical services. Receiving treatment here eliminates the need for travel and contributes to a smoother transition. In this therapeutic environment patients learn techniques to cope with illness and the things that can trigger it. An individualized treatment plan is created for each patient—and includes daily activities and goal setting.

Outpatient program

Our outpatient program may be appropriate if your loved one has either not responded well to less structured outpatient counseling or is transitioning from an inpatient environment. We provide care for up to five days a week that includes group sessions, a review of medications, evaluations and assessments of response to care, and plans to transition into routine living.
