Board-certified psychiatrists lead a team of registered nurses, psychotherapists, licensed chemical dependency counselors, social workers, mental health technicians and consulting physicians.
Personalized care plans integrate mental, medical, spiritual and social care components to help patients recover and develop a plan for success after discharge. We understand that everyone doesn’t always react to stress, trauma or emotional pain in the same way. Our 24-bed facility is dedicated to reducing suffering and establishing new ways of coping.
Treatment is available for those with psychiatric illnesses such as major depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis and substance use disorders. Our dedicated professionals work together to provide the highest level of care for each patient while developing a plan for ongoing success following discharge.
Treatment Modalities Include:
The Medical-Psychiatry Unit at St. Joseph Medical Center is an extension of the quality care and support we are committed to providing to our patients. This unit’s patient population includes adult patients with medical or surgical conditions along with active psychiatric symptoms or diagnoses.
Research indicates that when both medical/surgical and behavioral conditions are treated simultaneously, patient outcomes are improved. Our staff, which includes primary care physicians, psychiatrists, masters level therapists, case managers, nurses, mental health technicians and patient care assistants, work as an interdisciplinary team to ensure the expedient stabilization of acute health conditions, followed by referral to the appropriate next level of care.
