Frequently Asked Questions about Our Teen Residential Program for Girls
How long is the typical stay at a mental health treatment facility?
Short Term Treatment Plans: A short-term residential stay is considered under 30 days of inpatient treatment. Short-term mental health facility programming offers safety to those who may be experiencing acute symptoms, or who may require crisis intervention or stabilization.
Long Term Treatment Plans: A long-term residential stay is considered over 30 days of inpatient treatment. Long-term mental health programming offers a more controlled environment and extensive care in the face of greater mental health challenges. Extended inpatient care helps create lasting well-being and aftercare beyond a quick reset.
If you or a loved one is struggling, considering mental health treatment could be the first step to a higher quality of life, for the rest of your life. You don’t have to go through this alone, we’re here to help.
Does this mental health treatment center allow computer access?
We allow patients to use WiFi and personal computers during treatment. Access to WiFi can help patients stay connected with loved ones and manage personal matters, which can be an essential part of the recovery process.
Patients should discuss with their specific house managers to understand the WiFi policy and guidelines for use. This can help ensure that connectivity supports recovery while maintaining focus on therapeutic goals. The admissions team can provide detailed information and support if you have any concerns or special needs regarding internet access.
What should I bring to a mental health facility?
Typically, a person should bring comfortable clothing, toiletries, and any necessary medications. Many facilities prohibit items like sharp objects, alcohol, or illegal drugs. It’s important to check the specific facility’s rules on personal items before admission. You can find an extended packing list available for your convenience.
How are patients monitored during their stay?
Patients are usually monitored by a team of healthcare professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and counselors. Regular check-ins, medication management, and one-on-one therapy sessions ensure that the patient’s mental health is closely observed and that any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan are made. In more intensive programs, 24-hour supervision may be provided.
What aftercare services do you provide once treatment is completed?
We offer comprehensive aftercare services, including ongoing therapy, support groups, and referrals to community resources. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition back to everyday life and continued support in maintaining mental wellness. Clients can transition to an outpatient program after inpatient programming if desired.
How is medication management handled in your program?
Medication management is overseen by our team of psychiatrists and licensed clinicians. Medication management is important for clinicians to create a complete and accurate medication list, and to help to identify patient behaviors that may be putting patients at risk.
At AMFM Mental Health, safety is crucial to providing effective health programming. We conduct thorough evaluations to determine the most appropriate medications, and we regularly monitor individuals to assess their effectiveness and make adjustments as needed.
