Geriatric Behavorial Health Services

Most depression and other emotional illnesses in older people are treatable, especially if dealt with early. In addition to improving a senior's outlook on life, therapy also helps individuals care for themselves better and follow their primary care providers directions, particularly about taking medicines.

Emotional Problem Evaluation

Intensive Outpatient Behavioral Health Program

An intensive outpatient program is just what the name implies--"a more intensive level of outpatient services." Therapists and other professionals manage this program and provide various group and individual therapies in a stable, safe environment. The individual learns coping skills by exploring his or her own environment outside of treatment.

 

Inpatient Behavioral Health Program

For inpatient behavioral health programs, the patient is admitted to the hospital. Psychiatric nurses, technicians and therapists make up each individual's care team, which provides both support and education to the client, as well as their families and/or support system. These professionals work with the individual's primary care physician, psychiatrist, psychologist and/or therapist, so that the maximum benefit from the inpatient stay is achieved. The goal is to ensure that the individual's transition back into the community is a smooth one.
