We’re Here for You
Maintaining mental wellness is essential for living a productive, healthy lifestyle. When a person becomes diagnosed with a mental health disorder, it can severely impact their ability to complete everyday tasks. This makes it increasingly more important to receive the help needed to cope and heal. Memorial Healthcare aims to assist families in Owosso and throughout the state of Michigan in finding the resources to overcome their mental health disorders.
How to Know It’s Time for Treatment
While everyday anxieties are typical, there may come a point when patients can no longer function in their daily life. This is a telltale sign that they can benefit from behavioral health treatment. Other signs that a mental health disorder may be severely impacting one’s life include:
- Substance abuse
- Confusion
- Self-inflicted injuries
- Intense irritability
- Suicidal thoughts
- Highs and lows in mood and behaviors
- Inability to complete self-care
- Excessive worrying
- Hallucinations
- Disinterest in social activities
- Anger
- Changes in sleep or eating patterns
Younger patients struggling with a mental health disorder also may find difficulty doing well in school. If a parent notices behavioral changes alongside disinterest in activities and schooling, they should consider contacting a medical professional to seek counseling for their child.
Mental Health at Memorial Healthcare
Memorial Healthcare places emphasis on maintaining mental wellness for patients suffering from a behavioral health disorder. The team of psychiatrists, recreational therapists, social workers, mental health technicians, and registered nurses (RNs) ensures each patient receives the level of care they require. With 19 beds in our inpatient unit, individuals can obtain 24-hour care with an experienced staff. Each patient’s treatment plan is tailored to their needs, customizing it to fit the unique requirements of both the patient and their family.
Treating a mental health disorder combines assessment, psychopharmacology, education, and therapy to raise self-esteem and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Memorial Healthcare also conducts therapeutic activities, therapy group sessions, and family therapy sessions to create social relationships with others. Patients typically stay around three to seven days, which can be extended if needed. Following the patient’s care, physicians continue to ensure mental wellness by assigning aftercare procedures, such as medication or additional therapy.
