Our Treatment Programs

Acute Care

Our short-term Acute Inpatient Psychiatric Program caters to individualized treatment for patients who are adolescents (9+), adults, and senior adults. These patients may need inpatient care due to psychiatric or behavioral issues related to mental health disorders including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and others.

Day Treatment

This program, also referred to as a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), is tailored to individuals with primary psychiatric disorders who require intensive support and structure but do not require overnight or round-the-clock inpatient care. Patients receive treatment at our facility for six hours a day, five days a week, and return home in the evening.

Outpatient Day Treatment

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), or outpatient day treatment, is designed for individuals who don't require a full-day program but still need further therapeutic stabilization. In this track, individuals only attend three hours a day, allowing greater flexibility to manage other commitments with families, work, or other treatment professionals.

Creekside Behavioral Health partners with community, non-profit, first responder, and other mental health organizations. Through working with these organizations and community members, we are able to better support and provide services that are specific to the needs of our patients.
