The treatment philosophy introduces a combination of techniques tailored to the patient’s individual needs.

The program provides services to those who are 18 years of age and older who:

  • Exhibit serious psychiatric/chemical dependency problems
  • Present a danger to themselves or others
  • Participation in outpatient programs have not improved current symptoms

Among the techniques are “biological” treatments, particularly the use of medications. Psychopharmacological treatment has proven to be very effective in the care of anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive and mood (depression and bipolar) disorders, as well as with psychotic illnesses.

  • Present a danger to themselves or others
  • Participation in outpatient programs have not improved current symptoms

Group sessions are also an important part of the patient’s treatment plan. Some groups are based on psychotherapy techniques with a focus on how the patient is feeling “here and now.” Some are more educationally oriented. Still others are focused on motor skills and activities, such as group outings depending on the course of treatment. The treatment team will discuss with the patient which groups are best suited to his/her needs.

The program provides services to those who are 18 years of age and older who:

  • Exhibit serious psychiatric/chemical dependency problems
  • Present a danger to themselves or others
  • Participation in outpatient programs have not improved current symptoms

A third approach is “milieu therapy,” in which the patients and the staff on the unit are considered a whole community in themselves. Patients learn about themselves by participating in the life of the “unit” community, resolving its everyday problems and achieving its goals. The milieu provides structure, safety, mutual support and caring, and encourages active participation in an open flow of communication and feedback.
