The 26-bed Inpatient Unit provides a comfortable, secure, therapeutic environment for adult patients seeking treatment for a wide variety of acute psychiatric illnesses, including depression and anxiety disorders. Treatment is individualized based on the needs of the patient. Each patient receives a treatment plan which may include diagnostic tests, medication management, one-on-one therapy, and group therapy.
The Mental Health Liaison Program staff includes specially trained nurses who provide mental health assessment and intervention for identified patients in the Emergency Department. The Liaison Program also provides patient-centered consultations throughout all of the Hospital's units and programs.
As with all of the Centers of Excellence at St. Clair Hospital, community education and outreach are principle goals of the Center for Behavioral and Mental Health. Patients and their families are encouraged to take advantage of ongoing support and education programs.
In addition, individuals and organizations in the community can attend regularly-scheduled educational programs or make arrangements for mental health professionals from the Center for Behavioral and Mental Health to develop customized presentations. Topics may include stress in the workplace, depression and substance abuse. For more information or to schedule a presentation, call (412)942-4850.
