Inpatient mental health treatment  is intensive therapy where you will stay at the hospital for a minimum of one night. During your time in inpatient care, you’ll receive comprehensive, intensive care as well as group therapies in a dedicated mental health unit. Regions Hospital provides a safe, comfortable environment where you can get round-the-clock care and support from mental health experts.

Our inpatient mental health facility is part of Regions Hospital, so you can get support for your mental and physical health all in one place. We use a trauma-informed care approach to mental health treatment – approaching your care with a complete picture of your past and present to create a path for recovery.

This approach informs how we work with patients to avoid re-traumatization so you can get the mental health inpatient care  you need in a supportive environment.

While you’re in inpatient mental health care, you’ll have several one-on-one sessions with members of your care team. During these sessions, we will provide personalized care that’s tailored to your unique mental health needs.

Depending on your needs, you may meet with one of our psychiatrists, advanced practice clinicians (psychiatric physician assistants and psychiatric nurse practitioners), pharmacists, occupational therapists and social workers.

Our mental health experts, occupational therapists and specialists will lead several group sessions throughout each day. Group sessions vary but may include music therapy, occupational therapy, life skills sessions, pet therapy and more.

During group sessions, you’ll have opportunities to learn and practice new coping skills, relaxation techniques and physical exercises. We’ll also discuss life skills and other topics that will help you in recovery so you can live confidently. We recommend that each patient participate in as many group sessions as possible. These sessions are fundamental to your recovery and help your care team see how much you’re improving.

You’ll meet with members of your care team (psychiatrists, psychiatric physician assistants and nurse practitioners) to discuss medicines that can help you manage your mental health conditions. Our specialized pharmacists will make recommendations based on your symptoms and unique needs, and we’ll check in with you to see how well the medication is working.

If your medicine needs to be changed or if your dose needs to be adjusted, we can help.

When you start our inpatient mental health program, our occupational therapists will meet with you to set recovery goals. We’ll assess your strengths, activities of daily living and sensory needs.

During your treatment, we’ll work with you to help you with life skills that will support your recovery. Depending on your needs, life skills may include:

• Time management
• Self-care and hygiene
• Identifying and managing health symptoms
• Improving independence levels by using community resources and support networks
• Financial health
• Promoting healthy relationships, support networks and social skills
• Meal planning, nutrition and other important skills

Your recovery goals will become our goals, and we will use the latest occupational therapy treatments and techniques to help you achieve them.

Our mental health social workers are experts in guiding people through their treatment and recovery. The role of our social workers is to make sure that you have the information you need throughout your treatment plan. We can help you coordinate care appointments and other needs that you and your family may have.

Social workers at our inpatient mental health facility will help you access community resources that can assist you during your recovery. They will also be part of discharge planning to make sure you feel prepared before you leave the program.
