Our Mental Health Services

At ORC, our mental health services can teach you how to manage your mental health in the long term.

Our psychiatrists and other experts can help you understand your mental processes, learn new coping skills, and practice healthy living in social settings.

With our help, you can survive and thrive even if you experience stress or difficulties in your life. Our inpatient mental health services include:

Short-Term Stabilization

Short-term crisis stabilization can help you or your loved ones who are going through a mental health crisis.

During our stabilization program, you receive intensive mental health care and support without committing to a psychiatric hospital. Your safety can be our top priority, and our stabilization services include:

• counseling services
• psychiatric supervision and evaluation
• referrals to further treatment
• social skills development

Medication Management

Abnormal brain chemistry is a risk factor for mental illnesses. When taken as directed, medication can adjust your brain chemistry, which can help improve your mental health.

Our medication schedules can manage your mental health symptoms and improve your well-being. We can help manage your medication during and after your mental health treatment plan.

Commonly prescribed medications for mental health treatment include antidepressants, benzodiazepines, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotic medication.

Individual & Group Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is an effective cornerstone of mental health treatment. 

During our daily therapy sessions, you can work one-on-one with a psychiatrist, who can help you understand your mental processes while you learn coping skills. You can also connect with others during group therapy sessions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment approach for many mental illnesses. We also offer dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), exposure therapy, and interpersonal therapy.

Psychosocial Treatments

Psychosocial treatment involves learning to manage your mental health as a member of your community.

Our psychosocial treatment options include:

• peer support services
• social skills training
• employment skills training
• case management services
• independent living training
• aftercare planning

These psychosocial programs can teach you social skills and connect you with community resources, which you can utilize after finishing treatment.

Wellness Activities

Wellness activities during mental health treatment can promote healthy habits and day-to-day living.

At ORC, we offer wellness support with our on-site fitness center, outdoor recreation activities, nutritional guidance, yoga classes, and creative therapy.

Including wellness activities into your daily life can improve your mental health in the long term.

How Our Mental Health Program Works

Our mental health treatment program lasts for between 14 to 18 days on average. We have 37 inpatient beds designed for primary mental health patients.

We provide gender-specific housing on our 55-acre campus, where you, your family member, or your loved one will most likely stay during treatment.

Our mental health program starts with an initial assessment, then individualized treatment planning, and continues with comprehensive aftercare.  

Initial Assessment & Evaluation

Our intake services start on the same day you enter treatment. You may take biopsychosocial, safety, and Columbia assessments. Our team may also discuss your current and past medications with you.

These assessment tools can help our team determine the severity of your condition, potential triggers, and the type of treatment that works best for you.

After completing our assessments, you may move on to a short-term, individualized treatment plan.

Individualized Treatment Pathway

Our team of clinicians and psychiatrists design a personalized treatment pathway according to your assessment results.

Common treatment options may include cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, motivational interviewing, 12-step recovery programs, wellness activities, and social skills development.

You may attend some of all of these treatment options depending on your specific needs.

Aftercare Planning

Your mental health recovery does not end once you finish inpatient treatment. After you return to your daily life, you may deal with stress and trauma, which can hurt your mental health.

Access to long-term support and healthcare services can help you avoid future mental health crises. Our aftercare or discharge services may include:

• outpatient treatment planning
• medication-assisted treatment
• grief- or trauma-focused therapy
• community and peer support resources
• medical or legal assistance
