About Ellis Hospital

Ellis Hospital is located in Schenectady, New York, next to the Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital and close to the Mohawk River. They offer psychiatric care including behavioral health services for co occurring mental health and substance use disorders.

They also provide surgical services, emergency care, stroke care and heart care along with other speciality services on site.

Acute Care Walk In Treatment for Adults and Youth

This hospital provides walk in mental health services for youth ages 5 to 17 at what is known as the Family Room. They provide acute care services, assessments and treatment for children experiencing a mental or behavioral health crisis. They also offer, at their Living Room location, wal -in mental health services for adults experiencing similar mental health crisis symptoms.

I find it good to know that their adult services can also address substance use disorder symptoms, including withdrawal. Additionally, their crisis support services are offered both in person and through telehealth treatment. They will address various mental health conditions including depression, anxiety and PTSD in addition to substance use disorder symptoms.

Emergency Mental Health Crisis Services

I like that their emergency department also offers mental health crisis services 24/7. They provide integrated emergency care if you are experiencing acute mental health symptoms from registered nurses, mental health technicians, psychiatric crisis staff and psychiatrists.
