Because mental illness affects each person differently, we offer focused care for each individual seeking help. Our goal is to treat the existing crisis, initiate comprehensive treatment, and return the person to life within his or her own community as soon as possible. The average length of stay on our inpatient unit is 16 days, although the duration varies from unit to unit. Stays on adult units are generally shorter than those on adolescent and children's units. These programs are a resource for adults who need intensive treatment for acute psychiatric and chemical dependency issues while living at home.
Clients meet during the day, up to five days a week, depending upon individual needs.
The programs offer intensive, short-term treatment, typically lasting less than six weeks. Intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization are provided by a highly qualified multidisciplinary team of professionals in psychiatry, social work, psychology, psychiatric nursing, mental health and substance abuse counseling, and case management. Occupational therapy assessments are also provided as clinically indicated. Through our Ambulatory Services we diagnose, educate, and treat clients effectively and efficiently on an outpatient basis. Specialty services include Psychopharmacology, Neurocare of Maine, and Consultation Services.
