Whether you need immediate help, more intensive treatment, or ongoing outpatient support, our team can help connect you with the right care.
Our behavioral health services include:
- Emergency behavioral health care: Evaluation and support for people experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis, including help determining the appropriate next step in care.
- Inpatient behavioral health: Hospital-based treatment for people who need 24-hour care and a safe, structured environment to stabilize and begin recovery.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Structured, intensive treatment during the day for people who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require overnight hospitalization.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Flexible, structured treatment that allows people to receive several hours of care each week while continuing to live at home and maintain daily responsibilities.
