- Adults, children/adolescents and seniors will be referred to these services.
- This space is available for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapies to treat depression.
- Partial Hospital and Day Treatment on Floor 3:
- Partial hospitalization: patients receive intensive care while living in the community. Care is typically six hours/day for five days/week for three weeks and includes group format.
- In day treatment, patients will typically receive three hours of care for three days a week. Day treatment may last up to three months and includes a group format with patients seeing a community psychiatrist.
