We develop individualized treatment plans for each patient, including an aftercare plan to help the transition to outpatient care and community services. SABHH works closely with other professionals and social support systems to ensure continuity of care and long-term recovery.
A Holistic Approach to Inpatient Mental Health & Substance Abuse Treatment
We work with each patient as an individual, addressing unique needs through a focused approach to treatment. Our multidisciplinary treatment team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family counselors, physicians, nurses, adjunctive therapists, and dieticians. Patients will receive coaching on creating healthy boundaries, learning how to appropriately express emotions, using effective communication skills, increasing self-esteem, managing anger, and developing life skills.
