Telemedicine is used with hospital patients in the emergency room or patients who are assigned to a floor. We think it's valuable that using virtual services, the patient is able to receive evaluation and treatment by a licensed psychiatrist.
Referrals for Dedicated Substance Use Treatment
The clinic offers psychiatric emergency services. Their goal is to reduce the number of emergency room patients who are having some type of mental crisis. If you or a loved one are experiencing a crisis because of substance use withdrawals or overintoxication, they can stabilize you and then refer you to a local inpatient or outpatient facility. We appreciate this facility serving as an entry point to addiction treatment for clients in a crisis.
