ADULT PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES

Our adult psychiatric programs provide services for adults with major psychiatric illness. Patients admitted to our programs undergo psychological testing and are seen by a psychiatrist for an initial evaluation and then on an on-going basis throughout treatment.

Dual diagnosis patients are successfully treated in all of our adult psychiatric treatment programs.

Our programs emphasize successful resolution of the acute symptoms that precipitated the patient’s admission, formation of a proper medication regimen and focused intervention addressing the central recurring problems associated with the patient’s illness. Patients leave our programs engaged in the treatment process and well-prepared to benefit from ongoing individual and family therapy.

In recognizing that individuals in need of acute psychiatric treatment sometimes have difficulty with traditional verbal therapies, our program schedule always incorporates multiple treatment modalities to maximize opportunities for successful intervention.

The Partial Day Program provides services for those adults who require a very structured treatment during a period of major psychiatric illness. Participants attend the program for a full day of structured treatment five days per week. The treatment regimen includes individual therapy, group therapy, family counseling, psychiatric evaluation, medication management and psychiatric nursing services.

The Intensive Outpatient Program is provided as either a step-down from the Partial Day Program or as an alternative point of intervention. Participation in the program is for three hours each visit, with a similar but less intensive version of the treatment regimen in the Partial Day Program.
