Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if inpatient behavioral health care is necessary?

Inpatient care is generally recommended when a person’s mental health symptoms become unmanageable at home or in an outpatient setting. Key indicators include:

  • Thoughts or plans of self-harm or harming others.
  • Severe symptoms of psychosis (hallucinations or delusions).
  • A sudden inability to perform daily self-care (eating, sleeping, or hygiene).
  • A medication crisis that requires close clinical supervision. If you or a loved one is in immediate danger, please call 988 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Do I need a referral, or can I come directly for an assessment?

In many cases, individuals can contact the facility directly to discuss concerns and determine the next steps. Referrals may also come from physicians, therapists, hospitals, other healthcare professionals, or community members.  A member of the team can help guide patients and families through the admissions and assessment process.

What items are allowed (and not allowed) in the unit?

Safety is our top priority. We recommend bringing 3–5 days' worth of comfortable, modest clothing.

  • Allowed: Slip-on shoes (no laces), pajamas without drawstrings, and basic toiletries (provided they are not in glass containers or contain alcohol).
  • Prohibited: Cell phones, tablets, belts, jewelry, mirrors, and any items with sharp edges or strings.
  • Valuables: We strongly suggest leaving jewelry and large amounts of cash at home.

Inpatient Assessment and Admissions

The journey to wellness starts with an assessment – a confidential conversation with one of our experienced behavioral health professionals. After consultation with a medical professional, you will be recommended a personalized plan of care.

Referrals can be made by physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, ministers, nurses, home health agencies, nursing homes, family members or caregivers, teachers and other community partners. Individuals may also self-refer.

Those experiencing a behavioral health crisis, such as thoughts of harm to self or others, should call 911 immediately or visit the Emergency Department for evaluation.

We’re here to help you live your healthiest life and find your path to better mental health.
