At Agape Behavioral Center, we recognize the need for inpatient mental health treatment. Just as you would go to a hospital for your physical health, we offer inpatient services for your mental health. Inpatient mental health treatment is a critical and intensive form of care for individuals experiencing severe mental health symptoms. We provide a safe and supportive environment where patients receive comprehensive medical and psychological services to stabilize their mental health. This type of treatment is typically recommended for individuals at risk of harming themselves or others and those who have not found success with outpatient treatments and need stabilization.

What Is Inpatient Mental Health Treatment?

Inpatient mental health treatment, also known as psychiatric hospitalization or residential treatment, involves staying in our residential facility for a period of time to receive intensive care and support. The goal of inpatient treatment is to stabilize mental health symptoms and develop a plan for continued treatment. It is a short-term intervention to assist in overcoming a crisis or managing severe symptoms.

During inpatient mental health treatment, you can access our multidisciplinary team of medical professionals to address any concerns about your care. Clients receive 24/7 monitoring and care, including medication management, therapy sessions, and recreational activities. The length of stay at our inpatient facility can vary depending on the individual’s needs, ranging from a few days to several weeks.

Who Is Inpatient Mental Health Treatment For?

Inpatient mental health treatment is recommended for those experiencing extreme or persistent mental health symptoms that cannot be effectively managed in an outpatient setting. Some signs that inpatient treatment may be necessary include:

  • Uncontrolled behavior
  • Extreme anxiety  
  • Severe depression
  • Suicidal thoughts or actions
  • Substance abuse
  • Inability to perform daily activities
  • Psychotic symptoms.

It is important to note that inpatient treatment is not always the first line of treatment for mental health conditions. Many individuals succeed with outpatient therapy or other less intensive forms of care. Our inpatient mental health center can make a world of difference for those who require a higher level of support and intervention.

How To Access Mental Health Inpatient Services

If you or someone you know requires inpatient mental health treatment, call or contact us. At Agape Behavioral Center, we will assess the situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment. We will review the admission process, verify your benefits, and devise a plan for you to be admitted to our facility. Our center treats many disorders and has a full team to help you throughout this journey. We are always available to assist you with questions before joining our program.

Types Of Inpatient Mental Health Treatment

Inpatient mental health treatment can take various forms depending on the client’s needs and the severity of symptoms. Some common types of inpatient treatment include:

1. Inpatient Detoxification And Stabilization: This program is designed to help individuals safely and gradually reduce their dependence on drugs or alcohol. It provides support and therapy to help patients stay sober and stabilize their mental health at the same time with continuing care in a residential setting.

2. Inpatient Psychiatric Services: This program provides intensive therapy and medication management. It is suitable for individuals experiencing severe symptoms that cannot be effectively managed in an outpatient setting.

3. Inpatient Residential Treatment: Inpatient residential treatment differs from a hospital stay. Patients live in a residential facility where they receive 24-hour care and support. This type of program is often used to treat individuals with severe mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression.

4. Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs): In a PHP, patients receive intense therapies and treatments during the day but return home or to a facility with lesser supervision than in a residential setting. This program may be recommended for patients who need frequent medical attention but can manage their symptoms with support and guidance.

5. Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs): In an IOP, patients receive treatment several hours a day but do not stay overnight at the facility. This type of program may be suitable for individuals who need intense therapy and medication management but can manage their symptoms with support and guidance.

The level of care recommended will depend on the specific needs and the severity of symptoms. At Agape Behavioral Center, we offer residential inpatient mental health treatment.

Services Provided in Mental Health Treatment Centers

Our inpatient mental health treatment center offers various services to support patients in their recovery and stabilization. Our services include:

Our Family Program allows everyone to heal and learn how to support themselves and each other.

2. Medication Management: Our inpatient mental health treatment center provides medication management services to help maintain medication regimens. This includes instructions on taking medications correctly, information about potential side effects, and monitoring for any adverse reactions or issues related to the medications. Medication compliance can greatly assist in avoiding a relapse of symptoms

3. Psychotherapy: Various forms of psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), are a part of our treatment services and holistic therapies. These therapies help clients develop healthier thinking patterns and behaviors, improve coping skills, and address specific mental health conditions.

4. Substance Abuse Services: Our dual-diagnosis center provides specialized counseling and support for individuals struggling with substance abuse issues. These programs may include evidence-based treatments, such as 12-step support and counseling, to help clients achieve and maintain sobriety. 

6. Recreational Activities: We recognize the importance of recreational activities in promoting overall well-being. These activities, such as art therapy, yoga classes, music therapy, and outdoor activities like hiking or biking, can help clients relax, destress, and develop new coping skills.
