Inpatient Care and Units

INPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH THERAPIES AT WOODRIDGE

Inpatient services at Woodridge Hospital include therapists who provide initial assessments and gain information to help develop personalized mental health treatment plans for every patient.

This plan may include family/couples therapy, individual sessions and identification of what group track would be most appropriate.

These paths of treatment may include:

• Recovery from addictions
• Learning to cope more effectively with life stressors
• Overcoming depression or other emotional difficulties
• Helping to heal from broken relationships

…and other issues that are presented.

All patients are encouraged to attend group therapy at least twice a day and to be actively involved in their treatment.

Discharge planners will then provide appointments with an outpatient provider to continue the patient’s care when they are discharged from the hospital.
