Psychiatric care for people struggling with mental illnesses and undergoing addiction treatment, be it drug or alcohol treatment, is vital to facilitate recovery and give people the best chance of gaining control of their lives in a compassionate and supportive manner that is sensitive to their health concerns, illnesses, or addictions.
A study by KFF/CNN found that 90% of Americans think the country is in the midst of a mental health crisis. At the same time, other figures suggest that substance abuse is on the rise, as is the number of suicides, thus reinforcing the need for stronger mental health foundations for everyone and support that is tailored to meet the needs of the patient, not a generic treatment plan that overlooks nuances in care and needs.
What Is Mental Health?
Mental health is the overall term for your emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It encompasses how people think and feel and how they react to the world around them. It’s far more than just a mental health diagnosis; it includes environmental, biological, and social influences and considers how a person engages with those around them.
Good mental health is often characterized by positivity, self-confidence, and well-being, assisting you in navigating life’s challenges. Poor mental health proves to be a barrier to reaching this status, and it can impact every person regardless of their status in life.
Mental health can and does impact every facet of your life, and finding treatment to assist you in building a stronger mental health foundation can allow you to improve your quality of life and get back on the right path to living your life exactly how you want to.
Comprehensive Psychiatric Care
You might be asking why it’s important to treat mental health, whether you have been diagnosed with a mental health condition or not. And the reality is the better your mental health, the more likely you will be to go on and have a happy and fulfilled life and engage with the world around you on your terms.
Improved mental health and receiving psychiatric care for mental health conditions and for the treatment and recovery from addiction can provide you with the skills and tools to make better, more informed decisions that support recovery and allow you to improve relationships, regulate emotions, improve emotional well -being and more to provide a stable base.
Comprehensive psychiatric care is available for a wide range of mental health conditions, such as depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, and more, as well as for those undergoing drug rehab or alcohol rehab. Our approach is holistic, addressing all aspects of mental health and addiction recovery.
Personalized psychiatric care is a cornerstone of our approach. It enables our professionals to deeply understand each patient and deliver a care plan that is tailored to their unique needs. There is no one-size-fits-all plan for psychiatric care for mental health or drug and alcohol recovery. We believe in treating the individual, not just the condition.
Psychiatric care can be delivered via inpatient treatment for those who need more intensive therapy and treatment options to assist with recovery. Particle hospitalization and outpatient treatment are also available, and all care is delivered in a state-of-the-art facility that has everything you need for recovery from poor mental health or addictions.
Rehabilitation via psychiatric care involves treating the patient, understanding their needs, who they are, and what led them to require treatment. No two stories are the same, and this is why personalized care can provide engaged recovery and longer-lasting sobriety, as the care delivered when needed the most is tailored to each person for maximum effect.
Our approach to rehabilitation via psychiatric care is collaborative. It involves one-on-one sessions with a psychiatrist and group sessions with counselors on specified topics such as PTSD, anxiety, or gender-specific challenges. The patient is included in every step of the process, empowering them to take an active role in their recovery.
Before patients are discharged, they are armed with the tools and support they need to embrace life after recovery and prevent relapse. Relapse strategies focus on adapting behaviors and addressing specific triggers and obstacles that can impede recovery and good mental health in the future.
