Inpatient Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Regions Behavioral Health Hospital provides voluntary inpatient psychiatric treatment for adults experiencing acute mental health crises. Our focus is on stabilization, patient safety, and coordination of ongoing care based on each individual’s clinical needs.

Ready to Respond to Crisis

Regions Behavioral Health Hospital Medical Director and Psychiatrist, Dr. Khan

If a patient is experiencing a behavioral health crisis, Regions Behavioral Hospital provides assessment, stabilization, and treatment services based on individual clinical needs. Our approach emphasizes patient safety, dignity, and compassionate care throughout treatment. If a patient is feeling like they may harm themselves or others, or having psychiatric episodes that keep them from being able to function on their own, Regions provides structured psychiatric care designed to support stabilization and treatment. We work collaboratively with patients to develop an individualized treatment and discharge plan that supports ongoing care after hospitalization.

Crisis Intervention

Regions Behavioral Health Hospital will intervene in psychiatric crises and emergencies. We provide immediate assessment and intervention for individuals in acute distress. Our team of experienced mental health professionals is available to provide assessment, crisis intervention, and treatment planning for individuals experiencing acute behavioral health concerns. We understand that crises can be overwhelming, and our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment to help individuals achieve stabilization and begin appropriate treatment and recovery support.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy sessions with licensed therapists or counselors are available to address a variety of mental health issues. Our therapists use different therapeutic approaches tailored to each patient’s needs. These approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps patients identify and change negative thought patterns; dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which focuses on emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness; psychodynamic therapy, which explores the influence of past experiences on present behavior; and other evidence-based practices. Individual therapy is tailored to each patient’s clinical needs and treatment objectives.

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions bring together individuals with similar mental health concerns to discuss their experiences, share coping strategies, and receive support from both peers and trained therapists. These sessions provide opportunities for peer support and skill development within a structured therapeutic setting, which may provide additional therapeutic benefit as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Participants can gain new perspectives on their issues, learn from others’ experiences, and develop stronger coping mechanisms. Our group therapy options cover a wide range of topics, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and substance use.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment / Detox

Treating individuals who have co-occurring disorders, such as substance use disorders along with mental health conditions, Regions Behavioral Hospital provides treatment for individuals experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions. Dual diagnosis treatment integrates strategies to address both issues simultaneously, ensuring that neither condition is neglected. Our comprehensive approach includes medical detoxification to safely manage withdrawal symptoms, followed by integrated therapy to address both mental health and substance use concerns through coordinated treatment planning. Our goal is to support stabilization, recovery, and ongoing behavioral health care through an integrated treatment approach.

Medication Management

Regions’ psychiatrist, Dr. Khan, and medical professionals can prescribe and monitor medications to manage psychiatric symptoms. They work closely with patients to determine an appropriate medication regimen based on the patient’s symptoms, response to treatment, and clinical needs. Our team ensures that medication management is part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may also include therapy and other interventions. We prioritize patient safety and well-being, providing regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and address any concerns.

Psychosocial Education

Patients receive education about their mental health conditions, coping skills, stress management techniques, and strategies for relapse prevention. This education is a critical component of our treatment programs, as it helps patients better understand with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their conditions effectively. By understanding their symptoms and triggers, patients can develop better strategies to cope with stress and reduce the risk of recurrence of symptoms or substance use. Our educational programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, ensuring they are well-prepared to maintain their mental health.

Recreational & Expressive Therapies

Creative and recreational therapies, such as art therapy, music therapy, dance therapy, and recreational activities, may be incorporated into individualized treatment. These therapies promote self-expression, relaxation, emotional expression, and skill development. They provide patients with alternative ways to process their emotions and experiences, which can be particularly beneficial for those who find traditional talk therapy challenging. Engaging in creative activities can also enhance mood, reduce stress, and support engagement in treatment and emotional wellness.

Aftercare Planning

Regions Behavioral Health Hospital will outline recommendations for continued treatment, follow-up appointments, support groups, and community resources to support continuity of care following discharge. Aftercare planning is essential for maintaining the progress made during treatment and reducing the risk of future behavioral health or substance use crises. Our team works with each patient to create a personalized aftercare plan that may include outpatient therapy, medication management, support groups, and other resources. We are committed to providing ongoing support to support ongoing recovery and behavioral health treatment following discharge.
