We are a short-term facility and provide a multitude of treatment programs to assist in the treatment of severe psychiatric problems, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and depression. Patients come to the hospital through several different routes. Patients range in age from children aged four and up to senior citizens. They are treated for a number of chronic and persistent mental illnesses, including bipolar disorder, major depression, and schizophrenia. Some of HCPC's patients suffer from various levels of mental retardation or have a substance abuse problem which further complicates their mental illness.
Adult care is provided in any of seven treatment units.
A 12-bed unit serves in a patient receiving capacity. These units serve adults between the ages of 18 and 50. Those over 50 may be served in an older adult unit. The units provide a therapeutic living environment for patients during their hospitalization. The goals of the treatment team on these units are to clarify the patient's diagnosis, improve and stabilize symptoms of the illness, work together with the patient in the treatment process and develop acceptable discharge and continuing care plans.
