Full Spectrum of Care
Hospitalization for people suffering from acute psychiatric disorders may be the most appropriate alternative, if they are unable to live independently or may even pose a danger to themselves or others.
Short-term hospitalization is offered to adults and older adults at St. Catherine Hospital through referrals from medical staff physicians or Emergency Departments across Northwest Indiana.
Our board-certified team of psychiatrists, licensed therapists, nurse practitioners and other specialists help patients work through their crisis, diagnose or manage mental or emotional illness and transition to successful independent living.
Treatment
Our mental health care team will do an in-depth psychiatric evaluation and triage. Together, the team will check for underlying medical or biochemical origins to help determine the cause of cognitive and emotional distress. Behavioral health specialists will work with the patient, their family and others to get to the heart of the psychiatric crisis, develop an appropriate course of care and set a plan to put their lives back in balance at home and in the community.
