Adult Hospitalization
Our hospital provides the most intensive level of care in a safe and therapeutic
environment. We offer individual rooms for all patients. An average hospital
stay is 7-8 days, during which time a patient receives 24 hour nursing care
and intensive clinical interventions from a multi-disciplinary treatment team.
Our Multi-disciplinary Treatment Team:
- Board Certified Psychiatrists
- Master’s Level Licensed Clinicians
- Psychiatric Nurses
- Mental Health Associates
- Activities Specialists
- Other Brook Lane professionals as needed such as Psychologist, Chaplain, Dietitian, Art Therapist, and/or Addictions Counselor
Upon admission, individuals receive a thorough assessment of their psychiatric needs. An individualized treatment plan is developed for each patient which may include individual, group, family, couples and pastoral counseling as well as medication management.
An integral part of the program is patient education. This focuses on understanding medication, wellness, feelings, self-esteem, social skills, anger management, assertiveness, and problem solving. Group and individual therapies reinforce the education themes.
Upon discharge, patients leave the hospital with a plan for continued care. This may involve arranging outpatient treatment and/or community services for patients and their families as needed.
To ensure the highest standards of quality care, Brook Lane’s inpatient
services are reviewed regularly by The Joint Commission to maintain accreditation.
