Adult inpatient program
If someone is facing symptoms of a mental health disorder and needs help, acute inpatient treatment can offer immediate stabilization. This level of care is appropriate when mental health symptoms pose a risk to someone’s safety or sense of well-being. The teams at Geisinger Behavioral Health Centers understand the importance of providing supportive healing environments for adults who are experiencing symptoms of:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Bipolar disorder
- Psychosis
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
It is not uncommon for people who have mental health disorders to attempt to alleviate distressing symptoms by resorting to drug or alcohol use. Unfortunately, substance use can create a harmful cycle of dependence and worsen the symptoms of a mental health disorder. At Geisinger Behavioral Health Centers, we recognize the importance of addressing co-occurring substance use disorders alongside mental health conditions during treatment.
Every adult in our inpatient treatment programs receives an individualized care plan that may include medication management, basic medical care, and group, individual and experiential therapy sessions. Therapy sessions are guided by principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI) and a 12-Step approach to care.
The average length of stay for adults at this level of care is five to seven days.
