Behavioral health inpatient services
Patients who experience a severe behavioral health condition sometimes require close monitoring in a 24-hour care setting. We offer inpatient psychiatric services to help these patients cope with and stabilize their conditions, with a goal of improving their quality of life as they prepare to go home.
