The Psychiatric Unit provides a safe, protective environment for the treatment and recovery of acutely ill psychiatric patients.  It is a 21-bed, voluntary, primarily short-term, acute care setting for adolescents and adults.  Length of stay is approximately 14 days, however some patients benefit from longer or shorter stays. 

The approach to treatment is interdisciplinary.  Registered Nurses and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners are key members of the caring, professional staff which also includes Psychiatrists, Licensed Psychiatric Social Workers, and Art and Activity Therapists.

Individual, group, and family therapy are provided by the attending psychiatrist and professional staff. The attending psychiatrist may prescribe antipsychotic, antidepressant, anti-anxiety, or mood stabilizing medication individually or in combination, as indicated, for the treatment of a particular disorder or set of symptoms.

A close liaison is maintained with local agencies and mental health providers who offer post discharge services for patients.
