Patient Care Continuum
On admission to the unit, the patient is evaluated by the treatment team, and a nursing care plan and a comprehensive treatment plan are developed. This process is typically completed by the third day of admission.
The goal of inpatient behavioral health treatment is to stabilize, support, and equip patients with the tools they need to begin their recovery, with a focus on safety and stabilization. The inpatient stay initiates treatment and provides structure and support to allow the patient to progress through the patient care continuum
Preparing for discharge is an important step in your recovery journey. Our goal is to ensure a safe, smooth transition back to your normal routine. Your treatment team will meet with you to discuss care after your inpatient stay. A key part of discharge is connecting you with ongoing support. The discharge planner will share options that meet your therapeutic and lifestyle needs
