Services include inpatient care, outpatient clinics, emergency services, and community-based treatment, making it a comprehensive and accessible care provider for those in need. Inpatient services include 122 beds across five psychiatric units, providing 24-hour care in a safe, structured setting. Patients receive evaluations and personalized treatment from doctors, psychologists, social workers, and addiction counselors. The adolescent program also offers therapy, education, and skill-building. Amenities like a gym, outdoor patio, and volunteer-run beauty salon help create a welcoming, supportive environment that promotes both emotional well-being and physical comfort during recovery. Outpatient care offers flexible support for both children and adults. Services include walk-in evaluations, adult and youth clinics, family counseling, medication support, and crisis intervention. Community programs like assertive community treatment (ACT) teams provide in-home services for those with long-term mental health needs, helping clients stay connected and supported outside the hospital.
