Based on your call, our behavioral health team will suggest a treatment path forward.

Treatments can include therapy, medication, group sessions and other supportive services. The length of treatment varies based on your unique needs.

Inpatient mental health facility stays can last a few days to several weeks, while outpatient care can continue for months or even longer. We’ll work with you to create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs and help you feel confident in your care.

After you’ve talked with a mental health specialist, the next step is coming in for either inpatient or outpatient treatment.

Inpatient services involve staying at a psychiatric hospital or facility near you to receive 24/7 care for mental health issues. This is usually for more severe conditions that need constant supervision for your health and safety. In these instances, we’re here every step of the way to help you through your time of crisis.

Outpatient services are a good option for less severe conditions or ongoing therapy. Our team will connect you with a mental health specialist so you can start your care journey. You’ll live at home and continue your daily life while visiting a mental health clinic or hospital for treatment. We aim to make all outpatient treatment as convenient and supportive as possible to help you get the care you need.
