Neuropsychiatric and Behavioral Medicine Unit
The Inpatient Psychiatric Service is a locked, 18-bed, self-contained unit which provides comprehensive and intensive therapeutic services for adults with functional and organic psychiatric disorders severe enough to require inpatient care. The primary focus of this unit is to provide treatment for emergent symptoms and to prepare patients for follow-up treatment in a less restrictive setting.
The service's treatment approach places a strong emphasis on a therapeutic milieu designed for maximum patient participation and active problem solving. Multidisciplinary treatment, comprised of psychological, social and medical components, provides the foundation for care on the unit.
Medical Detoxification Services
The Department of Psychiatry oversees an inpatient detoxification program. The program is designed to help patients who require assistance and support in withdrawing from alcohol, medications and other substances. The usual length of stay is seven days. The program provides supportive therapy, and consultation from other medical services is available. Interested individuals can call for an evaluation.
