Adult Psychiatric

For adults, psychiatric, emotional and substance abuse problems can affect careers, marriages, and relationships. Kingwood Pines Hospital, a behavioral healthcare facility, offers a confidential, caring environment that promotes crisis resolution, positive self-awareness, social skills, and personal growth.

Problems We Address

• Depression
• Mood swings
• Suicidal thoughts or attempts
• Psychotic illnesses
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Fears and Phobia

Our Program Continuum

Psychiatric treatment is offered to adults at the following levels:

• Acute inpatient
• Partial hospitalization
• Intensive outpatient
• Individual outpatient by referral

The Acute Program treats adults in an intensive therapeutic structure, providing medical and psychiatric stabilization and 24-hour nursing care for patients experiencing critical symptoms.

Partial hospitalization is designed to assist individuals who require acute stabilization without the intensity of full inpatient hospitalization. The partial hospitalization program provides six hours of structured programming per day, allowing the patient to return home in the evening.

Intensive outpatient treatment provides three hours of structured therapy per day, allowing the patient to maintain a work schedule and live at home.

For those patients whose treatment needs can best be met through individual outpatient therapy, Kingwood Pines Hospital works closely with local mental health professionals in the area to arrange appropriate referrals.

Treatment Components

Treatment for each adult is administered by a multi-disciplinary team of mental health professionals led by a psychiatrist. Team members may include: * Psychologists * Nurses* Social workers * Case managers * Activity therapists * Program specialists * Substance abuse counselors.

The treatment process begins with comprehensive evaluation to help diagnose any underlying medical or biochemical origins of disease, and an individual plan of care is written for each patient’s special needs. Therapeutic components may include: * Individual therapy * Group therapy * Family therapy/education/support * 12-Step support groups * Discharge planning * Activity therapy * Medication education/management * Psycho-educational groups.

The treatment plan focuses on attainable short- and long-term goals established with input from the patient’s family and referring professional, if appropriate. Active family involvement in treatment is a critical component as the patient’s recovery is often correlated to health family interaction.

Because psychiatric problems may be complicated by a co-existing substance abuse problem, Kingwood Pines Hospital provides specialized treatment for adults with dual diagnosis issues. Emphasis is placed on teaching relapse prevention skills in both the Adult Psychiatric and Dual Diagnosis.
