Inpatient Services The Behavioral Health Pavilion is a full-service inpatient behavioral health hospital. This level of care is for anyone who needs intensive supervision and treatment in dealing with a crisis or an exacerbation of mental illness symptoms.
Partial or Intensive-Outpatient Services As an alternative or follow-up to inpatient services, partial hospitalization provides daily therapy throughout the week in a group format.
