Outpatient Counseling/Therapy
Counseling, medication management, and psychotherapy provide support and guidance for individuals facing stressful, confusing, or overwhelming life situations. Services include psychiatric and psychological evaluations; individual, marital, family, or group therapy; play therapy for children; and therapy for depression, anxiety, panic and eating disorders, and parent-child issues.
Partial Hospitalization
Partial Hospitalization is an active treatment program that offers intensive, coordinated, and structured clinical services within a stable therapeutic setting. This method of treatment can be an alternative to hospitalization and offers the flexibility to deal with a very wide range of conditions. Sessions are designed to offer individuals the opportunity to obtain feedback from others, discover their strengths, learn skills to manage their symptoms and life events, improve their relationships with others, resolve crisis situations, prevent hospitalization, and obtain support during life changes. Program hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Inpatient Psychiatric Care
Our Inpatient Psychiatric Care unit provides care for individuals whose emotional or behavioral problems have severely limited their ability to cope in their own home or social environment. Through individual and group therapy, patients learn positive methods of dealing with life stresses, coping skills they will need outside the hospital setting, and techniques to manage effectively within a community setting. Individuals may be referred through a physician, therapist, or a county crisis worker or by self-referral through Soldiers + Sailors Memorial Hospital's Emergency Room.
Inpatient Detoxification
These services are offered to patients who are currently enrolled in a drug and alcohol treatment program and meet the criteria for admission. Physician referral is necessary.
Eating Disorders
Anorexia, bulimia, and obsessive-compulsive eating are frequently related to underlying psychological problems such as dependency, low self-esteem, and a sense of powerlessness. Counseling and nutrition education can help clients to address underlying concerns and to normalize eating patterns. These services are also available for the treatment of childhood obesity.
