Inpatient (Hospital-Based) Mental Health Program
Whether you are suffering from depression, thoughts or suicide, substance dependency or an eating disorder, our program goal is to help you advance to the least intensive level of care and the road to recovery. Our inpatient program is offered in a secure wing of the new Mills-Peninsula Medical Center with common dining and day activity rooms. As socializing with other people who are going through the same health issues as you is an important part of the treatment, most of our rooms accommodate two patients. The program includes both individual and group treatment.
