What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
The clinical continuum at Memorial Hospital - Behavioral Health focuses on acute intervention, primarily offering short-term inpatient psychiatric care for adults. Their medical campus in Jasper also houses a specialized inpatient rehabilitation center for patients recovering from severe medical trauma or acute brain injuries.
Therapies
Rather than relying on rigidly structured therapy tracks, the clinical staff develops personalized treatment plans grounded in acute psychiatric rest and stabilization. A dedicated psychiatrist oversees daily care and medication management, while the hospital’s broader rehabilitation wing provides intensive physical, occupational, and speech therapies for those recovering from severe physical trauma.
Addictions
While primarily functioning as an acute mental health and medical healing environment, the facility assists patients presenting with primary or co-occurring alcohol and drug abuse. Their preventative wellness initiatives also feature a comprehensive tobacco cessation program that utilizes Indiana Tobacco Quit Line resources to help individuals identify and manage their unique daily triggers.
Conditions
Care teams in the behavioral health department map out holistic interventions for individuals managing overwhelming psychological emergencies. Their acute psychiatric stabilization unit frequently engages patients battling persistent depression, profound anxiety, severe mood swings, and active thoughts of suicide.
Issues
Recognizing that healing extends beyond the patient, staff actively address nuanced family and life stressors that complicate recovery. Community programming regularly tackles complex dynamics like caregiver stress through specialized dementia support groups, while dedicated newborn sessions guide new mothers navigating breastfeeding challenges and perinatal adjustment.
Programs
Programming at this regional health center is highly specialized, dividing into acute clinical physical recovery and ongoing community wellness. Their intensive inpatient rehabilitation program serves those relearning basic life skills following a traumatic brain injury, while their tailored tobacco cessation track helps individuals dismantle ongoing nicotine cravings.
On-site
Amenities
Designed to offer a comforting healing environment, the broader medical campus features dedicated spiritual spaces like an on-site chapel alongside comprehensive dietary services. Patients receiving acute inpatient rehabilitation stay in an intimate eight-bed unit located on the third level of the Barrett building, which receives around-the-clock nursing supervision.
Coverage
Payment
Driven by a mission to never deny emergent care based on financial ability, the Patient Financial Services team actively works with low-income families to prevent medical bills from reaching collections. The facility accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and TRICARE, while offering no-interest payment plans and sliding scale options for self-paying patients who proactively seek assistance.
