The Intensive Treatment Program (ITP) is a mental health inpatient program for adults ages 19 and over and provides help for those who need immediate psychiatric care in a safe and secure environment.  This licensed unit provides the care and support needed to allow patients to re-enter their lives with fresh perspectives and renewed spirits.

Our team of psychiatrists, medical doctors, licensed counselors and social workers, psychiatric nurses and specially trained staff provide care with dignity and compassion.  Our multi-discipline approach allows for quick intervention in crisis situations.  We help patients to:

• Resolve immediate conflicts
• Develop trust

Our Intensive Treatment Program professionals specialize in creating a treatment plan – with input from the patient and family members – and treating individuals who have severe and/or enduring mental health problems. Treatment plans may include:

• Crisis stabilization with medication management
• Medical evaluation
• Treatment planning
• Individual therapy
• Insight-oriented group therapy
• Family therapy
• A 24-hour staff presence

The ITP is a specialized area of Southeast Health which allows for closer observation and is the region’s largest hospital-based inpatient program.

A message for referring physicians:
Southeast Health’s ITP and Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program physicians and staff understand the importance of continuity of care. A schedule is established at the time of admission to update referring physicians with patient progress reports. As the patient improves, the referring professional is encouraged to participate in the discharge planning process. This team approach ensures the patient a smooth transition from hospital to home and back into everyday life.

The Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program (MAP) for adults 19 and over is specially designed for adults with depression, bipolar disorder or extreme anxiety disorders. Many of these patients have a dual diagnosis with substance abuse and a dual recovery program is offered.

Using a multi-disciplinary approach, we recognize that mood and anxiety disorders can affect anyone at any time and might be rooted in a combination of genetics, environment and specific circumstances. The MAP can help patients successfully improve quality of life. We treat:

• Major Depressive Disorder
• Bipolar Disorder
• Panic Disorder
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder
• Social Anxiety Disorder
