About Staten Island University Hospital Inpatient Psychiatry South
In Staten Island, New York, Staten Island University Hospital Inpatient Psychiatry South is a comprehensive multi-departmental hospital. One of these departments is their inpatient psychiatry unit for adults ages 18 and older. This inpatient unit helps clients who need around the clock care for mental illness and crisis stabilization including those with co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorder.
Your inpatient stay will focus on getting you to a more stable point and planning your ongoing treatment for your addiction and mental health. Your treatment could include individual therapy and group therapy as well as activity therapy. They provide psychoeducation too to help you understand more about your addiction and mental health. Depending on your needs your treatment could include medication management too and they can even coordinate your psychiatric treatment with your medical needs.
I found it interesting and helpful that this facility has a specialized geriatric psychiatry program too. There are unique needs that older adults have when treating addiction and mental health and this program has the specialized care that you or your loved one needs.
