Behavioral Health
An Adult Inpatient Program and a Partial Hospitalization Program
are available at Mercy Health Partners Behavioral Health for adults
18 and over.
The Adult Inpatient Program is designed to stabilize the crisis
situation that led to need for inpatient hospitalization. The program
provides for a thorough evaluation, develops a multidisciplinary
treatment plan, and coordinates care in a supportive environment.
The Partial Hospitalization Program provides intensive outpatient
therapy for those who are experiencing emotional and mental distress
but do not require 24-hour inpatient care and who have an adequate
support system outside the hospital setting.
Half of all Americans will experience a mental/emotional illness
during their lifetime. Mental/emotional problems affect all aspects
of our lives. Individuals may become so overwhelmed that they cannot
function day-to-day. Signs and symptoms that individuals exhibit
may include one or more of the following:
- Suicidal thoughts, especially a concern if there is intent and
plan to act upon those thoughts
- Sleep or eating disturbances that do not resolve within a day
or two
- Inability to enjoy what one used to enjoy
- A feeling that one just doesn't care anymore
- Unwillingness to adhere to medication recommendations from one's doctor
- Severe mood swings that may impact quality of life
- Hearing voices or having thoughts that are not in touch with reality
Most depression and other mental/emotional illnesses are treatable,
especially if dealt with early. Mercy Health Partners Behavioral
Health is here to let you know that you don't have to deal with
these symptoms alone.
