Went to behavioral health partial in fall of 2014. It was a great program, staff took time to listen, groups kept me very busy, but you were allowed out of groups or to leave group if you had a meeting with either your clinician, the psychiatrist, or your contact person....there were several people meeting with you through the course of the day in addition to group therapy. The program was heavily into the cognitive-behavioral therapy model (CBT) with some dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) thrown in here and there. Your contact person would assist you in choosing groups that were going to be the most beneficial for you. I now see a psychiatrist in the resident clinic who is absolutely amazing. He had been the only one in my life to ever recommend me being tested for sleep apnea and sure enough, that I have it and it is a major cause of my unstable mood and anxiety. Anyway, what I am saying is they look at the big picture, at least from what I have seen. They don't just use the take 2 of these and call me in the morning approach. They don't band-aid the hurt and hope it will go away, but rather they dig deeper. If you are struggling with any sort of mental health issue, depression, anxiety, anything, they can help. I don't know much about the inpatient side of things, but there may be some other reviews here that shed some light on that.
