Mental Health Inpatient Care 

Having on-site access to experienced, trained experts enables us to manage both psychiatric patients who have medical complications and medical patients who have psychiatric complications. We screen patients for other health problems at admission and make appropriate referrals to treat any conditions that may impact recovery.

Our treatment teams include:

• Board-certified psychiatrists
• Specialty trained nurses
• Doctoral-level, masters-level and certified psychologists and therapists
• Social workers
• Occupational, physical and recreational therapists
• Dietitians and multi-specialty medical staff

Our facilities offer a safe, confidential environment with attractive surroundings and helpful amenities. Both programs are designed to promote daily social interaction and increase self-reliance, two important aspects of recovery. Midland and Alma are small, pleasant, easy-to-navigate cities with convenient hotels and services for visiting family and friends.
