Mental health and wellness

The mission of our inpatient mental health program for adults is to provide you with relief and healing. Inpatient care is designed for people who feel that they are no longer safe at home and are a danger to themselves or others. At our hospital, we foster a comforting and safe environment where you can learn to recognize your triggers and address the potential underlying problems, such as depression, stress or low self-esteem.

Our adult intensive therapy program

The Vine Unit is our adult intensive therapy program, where we help you stabilize acute symptoms for mood and anxiety disorders. Our professional treatment team is made up of registered nurses, licensed counselors, psychiatrists, mental health therapists and technicians. In a quiet, relaxing environment, we use small group discussion and evidence-based methods to help you develop communication skills and appropriate coping mechanisms, putting you on track towards healing.

Young adults and teens face a unique set of challenges and deserve to have access to personalized, comprehensive care. Our inpatient services focus on providing a safe and supportive environment, where teens can recognize and address underlying emotions, such as depression, anxiety or anger. If you or a loved one is admitted into our inpatient program, we strongly encourage continued treatment through our outpatient programs.

Our outpatient health programs enable adults and adolescents with mental and behavioral health conditions to find the support and treatment they need, while continuing to attend work and school regularly. These four programs meet three times a week at our Brookside and Lee’s Summit locations:

• Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program
• Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program
• Adult Intensive Outpatient Program
• Adult Partial Hospitalization Program

Through our senior behavioral health program, we provide your loved ones with the emotional support and mental stability they need to enjoy a higher quality of life. Our board-certified psychiatrists and highly trained nursing staff are equipped to treat an array of mental health disorders in our specialized Senior Adult Unit.

Although there has traditionally been a stigma surrounding electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), it is actually very beneficial for people living with severe mental conditions, especially if there are life-threatening symptoms. Contrary to popular beliefs, ECT is very safe and is only used when medication and therapy fail to treat the disorder. 

ECT may be beneficial for people living with severe mental conditions, especially ones with life-threatening symptoms. You and your doctor may decide to add ECT to your care plan if medication and therapy fail to treat the disorder.
