Inpatient Behavioral Health Services

The 24-bed inpatient unit provides short-term evaluation, stabilization and treatment for adults and adolescents experiencing a psychiatric crisis or a temporary exacerbation of a chronic mental illness. Our patients' needs may include addiction treatment (for alcohol and/or drug abuse), detox and rehab; dual diagnosis (primary psychiatric and secondary addiction diagnosis); or inpatient electro-convulsive therapy (ECT). Services are provided within a pleasantly furnished, voluntary but locked, nursing unit.

Treatment in the inpatient unit involves two-stages. Patients are seen by their attending psychiatrist, who heads the treatment team. They also participate in a full range of therapy groups that pertain to their specific needs. Groups include:

• Occupational Therapy

• Group Psychotherapy

• Dual Diagnosis Group

• Addiction Counseling

• Nursing Groups, including medication and education

• Multifamily Group

Social work services and placement assistance are also provided, as well as family group and counseling. For more information on Suburban Hospital's Behavioral Health Services, or referral to a physician or therapist, please call 301.896.7777.
