As a Safety Net Hospital, Insight is committed to serving the South Side community with accessible, compassionate care for all individuals, regardless of their circumstances.
Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment
Insight's behavioral health unit specializes in treating adults and seniors managing both mental health conditions and substance use disorders. I've found that this hospital-based program offers seamless coordination between psychiatric care and medical services, making sure the patients have full care.
Patients work through individual psychotherapy, group sessions, and family psychoeducation while building coping skills. I've found that this helps individuals address the root causes of both their mental health symptoms and addictive behaviors.
Flexible Levels of Care for Mental Health Recovery
The program offers multiple levels of care, from acute inpatient psychiatric treatment to partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming. Patients transition between levels as needed, with structured day treatment for chronic conditions like major depression and bipolar disorder, plus outpatient services Monday through Friday.
Affordable Crisis Care
Insight's behavioral health unit services include in-person treatment with crisis walk-in availability.
The program accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE and VA benefits.
Uninsured and underinsured individuals can seek financial assistance for care.
