Inpatient Psychiatric Treatment

Under certain circumstances, adults may be hospitalized for psychiatric or behavioral issues.

An inpatient psychiatric stay lasts a minimum of 5 days, while the average stay is 7-10 days.

During this time, treatment is focused on stabilizing the individual and preparing them for continued treatment.

Upon discharge, they should expect to be referred to other services, typically in an outpatient setting.

Adults may be admitted for psychiatric treatment if they are believed to be a danger to themselves or others, demonstrate deficits in self-care or show signs of mental or emotional deterioration.

We help individuals with mental health issues, including:

• Mood disorders, such as acute depression
• Bipolar disorder (manic depression)
• Anxiety disorders, including panic attacks and post-traumatic stress
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder
• Psychosis and schizophrenia
