Adult Inpatient Treatment
The Adult Inpatient Service consists of three adult inpatient
units: Donnelly 3 North (D3N), Donnelly 3 South (D3S), and Donnelly 2
South (D2S). Each unit is slightly different in programming and patients
are assessed for appropriate placement on the basis of their specific individual needs. Each unit provides comprehensive
individual and group therapy on the basis of a short-term stabilization model.
Family meetings are provided as necessary and discharge planning to a
less intensive level of care is done in conjunction with the individual, their significant
others, and current outpatient providers.
