Behavioral Health Services
At Grandview Medical Center, we recognize that good mental health is as important to our quality of life as physical health. That's why we offer a personalized approach to meeting the mental and behavioral health care needs of the community across the lifespan. Please visit the links below to learn more about the services we offer.
Our Services
The goal is to help patients learn new problem solving skills and interpersonal skills, and to give them the opportunity to practice these skills. The staff is trained to use evidence-based practices to help patients begin to make changes, with an emphasis on planning to continue the work of recovery long after the inpatient hospital stay has ended. A structured therapeutic program is offered on the unit to provide patients with the optimal environment for recovery. Individual, group and family services are combined to assist the patient, depending upon each patient's individual treatment plan.
