Acute Mental Illness Inpatient Treatment
The hospital provides services for adults with acute mental disorders who require acute care. Patient safety is ensured by placing the patient in a locked unit. Three separate areas house patients based on the level of acute treatment needed.
Patients are supervised at all times and are cared for by a team including nurses, doctors, residents and recreational therapists. Social workers, case managers and health unit coordinators are also available to provide assistance.
Outpatient NonAcute Treatment
Mental health conditions can sometimes be the primary contributing factor of someone’s substance use. Outpatient biobehavioral services are offered at the hospital.
Treatment is available for those with disorders including depression, stress, anxiety and trauma. Staff members may utilize evidence based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. As you improve in your mental health, you can spend time doing activities that can support your healing, such as enjoying a walk at Constitution Park.

After stabilization they can make a referral to a local facility that offers the treatment you need. Kaweah Health Mental Hospital is located less than an hour away from Fresno.
