In order to create a smooth transition from the hospital to home, we emphasize the least restrictive environment possible. The treatment team works closely with the patient and family to develop an aftercare plan that expands on the progress made while in the unit. Plans may include community-based programs, assisted living facilities, personal home care or a nursing care facility.

Confidential assessments are available to help the individual, family or facility determine if inpatient treatment is recommended.
