Admission
Patients must present to their nearest Emergency Department for a comprehensive evaluation by our Behavioral Health Assessment Team for admittance. They will identify and treat medical conditions that may be contributing to psychiatric symptoms. If the patient is found to be medically stable and appropriate for admission to the unit, they will be placed in the appropriate facility for the level of care needed.
