What is Inpatient Mental Health Treatment?

Inpatient mental health treatment is a type of care where you stay at a facility for a period of time to receive dedicated support for your mental health. Think of it like a retreat where the main focus is on helping you feel better, mentally and emotionally.

These treatment services are more intensive than visiting a therapist once a week, as they provide continuous support and a safe environment that’s all about your healing. The idea is to give you space away from your daily life to really focus on your mental health, with professionals available around the clock to help you through your journey.

Types of Co-Occurring Disorders We Treat

Inpatient services cater to various specific needs, including programs for depression, anxiety, and substance abuse combined with other mental illnesses, known as dual diagnosis treatment. Mental health problems and addiction frequently occur together, often influencing and worsening each other. For example, a person might use substances to cope with a mental disorder, or drug abuse might intensify an existing mental health condition. These complexities are why specialized inpatient programs are essential for effective treatment.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) often leads to substance abuse, with around two-thirds of those with BPD turning to drugs or alcohol. Treating someone with a dual diagnosis, a combination of addiction and mental health issues, requires a personalized approach involving the patient, their loved ones, and medical professionals.

The severity of the addiction and mental health symptoms determines the level of care needed. At Psyclarity, many patients with dual diagnosis find residential rehabilitation most effective, where they receive constant support and care.

Eating Disorders

Individuals with eating disorders may use both prescription medication and illegal substances to control their appetite, which is a dangerous way to handle body image issues. Treating eating disorders often requires a team approach, including physicians for physical health, psychologists for mental health, and nutritionists for dietary planning.

While people with eating disorders can be treated as outpatients, many may need more intensive care in residential or inpatient facilities. The decision between inpatient or outpatient treatment depends on various factors, including body weight, vital signs, and overall physical and psychological stability, as assessed by medical professionals.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

People with OCD experience persistent thoughts and compulsions, such as a fear of germs or excessive cleaning, which can lead to depression, anxiety, and sometimes substance abuse for relief. OCD often disrupts daily life, making even simple tasks challenging.

Recognizing OCD as a serious condition, Psyclarity Health’s Treatment Program offers specialized, personalized care to help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. By customizing treatment to each person’s specific needs, the program aims to alleviate the impairment caused by these symptoms.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can affect anyone who has experienced overwhelming trauma, not just those in the military or high-risk jobs, and it’s often accompanied by other mental health issues, like substance use disorders. People with PTSD tend to have lower endorphin levels, which can lead them to substances like alcohol for relief.

At Psyclarity Health, treatment for PTSD is intensive and geared towards long-term wellness, often including services for co-occurring disorders to ensure comprehensive healing. This treatment usually involves an inpatient stay, followed by a continued care plan supported by a collaborative environment involving therapists, medical staff, and families.

Schizoaffective Disorders

Individuals with schizoaffective disorder frequently use drugs and alcohol to cope with their symptoms, such as anxiety and depression, and while substance abuse doesn’t cause the disorder, it is considered a risk factor. The most effective treatment combines therapy, medication, and daily support. Residential-inpatient care is particularly beneficial for mental health conditions like schizoaffective disorders, as it provides patients with comprehensive access to all necessary treatment options.

When is Inpatient Treatment Necessary?

Inpatient treatment might be necessary when your mental health condition is more severe or complex or if outpatient treatment hasn’t been enough. This could be for situations like experiencing severe depression, having suicidal thoughts, or struggling with substance abuse that’s tied in with mental health issues.

It’s also important if your environment at home isn’t supportive or if it’s contributing to your mental health challenges. In these cases, a safe and controlled environment, like an inpatient facility, can provide the intensive care needed for recovery.

What to Expect in an Inpatient Treatment Program

When you join an inpatient treatment program, you’ll first go through an assessment to understand your specific needs. Based on that, a personalized treatment plan is created for you. Your typical day might include individual therapy sessions, group therapy, possibly medication management, and activities that promote mental health, like art therapy or exercise. The goal is to provide a structured yet flexible schedule that helps you understand and manage your mental health while also teaching you skills for coping once you leave the facility.

Benefits of Inpatient Treatment

Inpatient treatment offers numerous benefits. Since you’re staying at the facility, you get continuous support and care and access to hospital services, which can be crucial during tough times. It provides a safe and structured environment free from the stressors of your daily life, allowing you to focus solely on getting better.

Being around professionals all the time means you get immediate help when you need it. Plus, being with others who are facing similar challenges can create a sense of community and understanding. This immersive experience often leads to significant and lasting improvements in mental health.
