For SEVERE symptoms.
Inpatient stays are generally short- lasting from a few days to two weeks. The focus is on stabilization to address a mental health crisis, a danger to self/ others, or active substance use that may require acute withdrawal/ detoxification.
Inpatient services typically include assessment, diagnosis, treatment, crisis planning, medication management, and referral. 24/7 supervision is provided in a hospital or clinical setting. ​​
