Acute Mental Health

The Acute Mental Health Program is a 19 bed county-wide program offering psychiatric services to the area's adult population. The program is dedicated to short-term intensive treatment and provides service to voluntary patients with disorders such as major depression, anxiety and schizophrenia.

Admissions to the program are received through the Emergency department, directly, on the referral of a physician or through a county-wide process developed to permit patients from outlying areas to be referred directly to the program preventing the need for a duplicate assessment by the Emergency Physician.
