Fieldstone Center
Adult Psychiatric Inpatient Program

Patient Referral Line: 800.582.1900

The pressures of life can be overwhelming at times. When an individual is no longer able to function at home or at work, psychiatric treatment may be the best choice. Fieldstone Center's adult services offer an inpatient program designed to treat the person holistically, with respect not only to mental and physical problems, but to spiritual and social needs as well.

The Adult Inpatient Program is a seven-day-a week, 24-hour-a-day short- term, intensive, structured treatment program for men and women 18 years and older. The hospital offers a safe, comfortable, accepting atmosphere for patients requiring closer supervision, protection and assistance with acute crises and symptom control. Nursing services are provided 24 hours per day and on-site attending physician services are also available daily. Each patient's treatment program is supervised by the attending physician.

The Program is Designed to:

• Diagnose and identify patient problems amenable to treatment with short and long-term goals and objectives
• Individualize treatment to each patient's unique needs
• Offer physical, psycho logical, spiritual and social assessments throughout the treatment process
• Provide an intensive therapeutic environment which promotes a rapid stabilization and enhances self-control
• Provide treatment that assists patients to define personal needs, strengthen self-esteem, assume increased responsibility for one's own life and assure access to community support systems

Treatment

The treatment team for patients consists of a spectrum of mental health professionals. In addition to the psychiatrist and nurse, the team includes psychologists, counselors, occupational and recreational therapists, social workers, mental health specialists and other staff.

Experience shows that recovery depends on patient involvement. So, the therapeutic process provides support for the patient as well as meaningful activity throughout the treatment day. Patients learn more effective ways of coping with their problems.

Typically, treatment includes individual, group and family therapy, as well as various other activities. In any given therapy program, a wide range of medical, psychological and social work therapies may be used. Such procedures range from the use of medications to psychotherapy-all aimed at modifying adverse conditions in the patient's life situation.

Interaction among patients-whether in therapy groups or other activities-is planned in such a way as to be of therapeutic benefit. In addition, family groups are held to include the support of family members in the continued progress of the patient.

To keep the focus on returning the patient to the community and on preventing the disorder from becoming chronic, our treatment team keeps close ties with the family and community. We encourage self responsibility and emphasize a rapid return to a productive and meaningful life.
