Care offered
From the program's public listing:
- Hospital inpatient: care around the clock in a hospital, for people who need close medical or psychiatric care. Listed as a hospital program. Ask whether this location offers inpatient care.A hospital stay is usually short and aimed at making someone stable rather than finishing treatment. Ask whether people are admitted at this address or through an emergency department, who decides when someone is ready to leave, and what is arranged for afterwards.
- Day treatment (PHP): treatment for much of the day, most days of the week, going home at night. PHP stands for partial hospitalization program.Ask how many hours a day and how many days a week it runs, whether transport or meals are included, how many weeks people usually stay, and what someone is expected to do in the evenings.
- Outpatient: regular visits, such as counseling, therapy or medication appointments.Ask how soon a first appointment can happen, how often visits come after that, whether the same clinician is kept each time, and whether they will see someone who is still drinking or using while they get started.
- Licensed Primary Mental Health Care
