At Twin Rivers Regional Medical Center, we offer individualized care in a warm, supportive atmosphere. The first thing our professional team will do is a thorough evaluation to help determine what is causing a patient’s distress and how we can best help. Our clinical team will check to see if there are any underlying medical or biochemical origins to these symptoms. The team will then work with the patient, their family, and other healthcare professionals to develop an appropriate course of treatment. Treatment may include individual meetings with psychiatrists, group therapy, and educational programs.
Inpatient hospitalization involves stabilizing the crisis that led to the hospitalization, providing a thorough evaluation, developing a treatment plan and coordinating care in a supportive environment that provides 24-hour care.
Treatment focuses on behavioral health needs and teaches new ways to cope with the illness. We also determine the appropriate level of medication and teach patients how to use their medication appropriately. All of these therapies are designed to help the patient return home and resume their lives as quickly as possible.
Families play an important role when admission to psychiatric treatment center is necessary. Stresses and strains in relationships are intensified. We understand this and encourage family members to express their feelings and learn new ways to cope with their difficulties.
