Inpatient Behavioral Health Services
Our Inpatient program is designed to stabilize the patient experiencing a crisis in an acute care, holistic treatment setting. The program serves adults who require a safe setting. Our multidisciplinary treatment team provides 24 hour nursing care, social services and activity therapy.   Patients are seen daily by either a psychiatrist or a psychiatric nurse practitioner.

We recognize that emotional, behavioral and substance use problems can affect all areas of a person’s life. Our individualized treatment program is tailored to address each person’s unique problems and needs.

Treatment services are focused on helping patients develop the necessary coping skills to deal with the issues that led to the need for hospitalization and to evaluate and manage each patient’s medication. We encourage empowerment of our patients to take the first steps in addressing their acute psychiatric problems. The primary objective for the inpatient program is to guide our patients in reaching a point of stabilization working alongside the treatment team to lessen psychiatric symptoms. Throughout the inpatient treatment experience, we work together with our patients and their families to encourage the best possible outcome and ongoing plan for success.

Outpatient Behavioral Health Services
Outpatient services begin with an assessment to gather information and describe treatment options. Typically, most people participate in individual therapy/counseling in order to reduce the negative effects of stressors and to build strengths and resilience. Sometimes families join in a person’s individual therapy or the whole family participates in family therapy. At different offices there may also be support groups offered. Psychiatric services (medications) are also available to people who are participating in therapy.

Therapy services are provided by people with master’s degrees in counseling, social work or marriage and family therapy or by a psychologist. Medication is provided by psychiatrists and advanced nurse practitioners. Services are offered in Lawrenceburg, St. Leon, Brookville, Batesville and Vevay.
