Inpatient Program

Austin Lakes Hospital offers 24-hour inpatient mental health care for adults ages 18 and older and seniors ages 55 and older.

• Our Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is an inpatient environment for adults who require the highest level of care or crisis stabilization.
• Inpatient Treatment is designed for adults who are in need of 24-hour care. This program focuses on crisis intervention, assessment and medication stabilization.
• Our Senior Adult Program is oriented toward diagnosing, stabilizing and treating the complex issues faced by aging adults. The senior program focuses on the physical, social and mental changes that occur during the aging process. In treatment, we promote healthy aging and improvements in senior adult mental health.

Outpatient Program

Austin Lakes Hospital also provides a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which consists of comprehensive treatment for adults who do not require 24-hour care. Outpatient care and group counseling can be a great step-down option for those who’ve completed inpatient treatment or an overnight stay at another facility. Participants in outpatient programs attend therapy groups during the day or evening and return home after programming.

• Partial Hospital Program (PHP) is an integrated approach to healing and stabilization. It can serve as a step down from inpatient care or an alternative to inpatient care.
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a less restrictive outpatient treatment program that allows clients to attend group therapy, then return to their home or work environment after programming hours.
