Saint Marys Regional Medical Center

Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center in Reno, Nevada, offers a variety of primary care, urgent care and specialty services for adults and minors. Reno is located in Washoe County along the California border in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The city offers easy access to outdoor recreation at Lake Tahoe, which is approximately 23 miles away. The area is known for tourism and gaming, which can be welcome distractions for those in recovery.

Behavioral Care Unit for Mental Health Challenges

We like that St. Mary's Regional Medical Center has a fully staffed emergency care services program that can offer help during a mental health or substance use disorder crisis. They offer stabilization and help manage short-term intoxication or withdrawal in the emergency care center.

St. Mary’s has a behavioral health unit that offers inpatient care for mental health challenges but does not have a substance use disorder or addiction treatment program. It's good to know that for individuals in recovery, they do offer mental health treatment for conditions commonly associated with addiction, such as major depression, anxiety, psychosis and PTSD.

Psychiatric Evaluations & Medication Management

Inpatient care can include individual, group and family therapy settings alongside activities therapy, psychiatric evaluations, medication management and discharge planning. We like that each of these steps helps you transition from inpatient care to outpatient care and then into the community.

I saw that they also offer help for behavioral issues that are related to dementia disorders. The hospital works with most major insurance providers in the regional area and can provide a superbill if they’re out of network with your insurance provider.
