Overview of Behavioral Health
Emotional and substance abuse problems deserve the same attention as other health problems. They are treatable illnesses. Treatment means less suffering for individuals and their loved ones, less disruption in family life and the workplace.
Behavioral Health offers programs and treatment for:
- Depressive - more than a temporary state, it is characterized by ongoing feelings of sadness
or Irritability, loss of energy, interests and sleep, appetite problems and thoughts of wanting to die. - Alcohol and other drug abuse
- Adjustment Disorders
- Anxiety/panic - intense worry, tension or jitteriness and panic attacks.
- Personality disorders
- Eating disorders
- Family or relationship distress
- Schizoaffective and related disorders
We provide outpatient assessment and treatment to those with depression, anxiety, chemical dependency, and other symptoms. Our professional staff offers outpatient individual, family, and group therapy to adults, adolescents, and children. We also provide substance abuse education.
Our Treatment Options
- Inpatient - provides short term, 24-hour/day care where safety of an adult requires close observation, or other levels of care have not succeeded.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) - offers 6-hour/day structured day programming on the inpatient unit for adults with serious functional impairment related to an acute mental illness, but whose safety can be maintained outside the hospital.
- Intensive/Structured Outpatient Programs (lOP) - are 2-hour and 3-hour programs for adults needing more intensity than regular outpatient appointments. We offer several programs which treat either substance abuse or diagnosable mental illnesses in adults.
- Traditional Outpatient Services - Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Professional Counselors, Certified Substance Abuse Counselors, and other mental health professionals assess and treat adults, adolescents, and children. Individual, family and group therapy, as well as substance abuse education,
are available.
