Acute Inpatient

Acute inpatient hospitalization occurs for people experiencing a mental and/ or emotional crisis. It is the most intensive level of care offered and provides 24-hour skilled nursing observation and care; daily interventions and oversight by a psychiatrist; and intensive, highly coordinated treatment by a physician-led team of mental health professionals. Inpatient hospitalization is always short-term and designed to quickly stabilize the most serious symptoms, allowing for a quick transition to less intensive levels of care.
