Each patient who walks through our facility’s door for treatment is different, and our clinical team assesses each patient individually. Our team works closely with the patient’s family and community professionals in order to plan a treatment that best suits the patient’s needs.

Some of our therapeutic services include:

• Group therapy
• Family involvement
• Therapeutic Activity Therapy including:
  • Yoga and movement therapy
  • Therapy utilizing art, mindfulness and meditation
  • Skill development to assist the patient in safety planning and emotional dysregulation.

We strive to provide patients an opportunity to learn different techniques to cope with mental illness. The self-awareness and behavioral management skills that are shared with each patient are designed to have a lasting effect on the patient.

We offer group therapy and family involvement as indicated, with emphasis on:

• Crisis stabilization and problem solving
• Anger management
• Abuse issues
• Tips for managing stress
• Interacting socially with others

People battling mental illness can be helped by being observant of warning signs. Experts state that early mental health support can help a patient before problems interfere with other developmental needs. By detecting issues in the earlier phases and seeking medical attention early, patients have an easier road of recovery before symptoms spin out of control.

Here are a few early signs of what to watch for that may lead to the necessity of a structured program that inpatient care provides:

• A sudden withdrawal or loss of interest in activities
• Neglect of personal appearance
• Drastic changes in personality, eating or sleep patterns
• General lethargy or lack of energy or difficulty concentrating
• Violent actions, rebellion or running away
• Drug and alcohol use
• Headaches or stomach aches
• Loss of ability to tolerate praise or rewards
