What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Methodist Hospitals Rehab Center provides intensive inpatient behavioral health care tailored for individuals requiring round-the-clock psychiatric stabilization. This secure environment facilitates comprehensive acute treatment, followed immediately by robust case management to lay down a collaborative roadmap for long-term emotional recovery.
Therapies
Clinical care at Methodist Hospitals emphasizes a team-oriented approach, utilizing licensed clinical staff for focused individual therapy and extensive psychoeducation. Treatment also incorporates meticulous medication management combined with deep clinical education, ensuring patients understand their specific medicinal protocols as they stabilize.
Addictions
While the specific offerings are not tailored exclusively around extended substance use rehabilitation, the clinical team includes addiction medicine diplomates capable of addressing complex behavioral presentations safely. Individuals seeking dedicated addiction recovery tracks are encouraged to contact the facility directly to discuss appropriate interventions and potential community referrals.
Conditions
The hospital’s behavioral health division is uniquely equipped to treat severe emotional illnesses and acute psychiatric disruptions, including clinical depression and schizophrenia. The multidisciplinary team utilizes comprehensive psychological diagnostic testing to accurately identify underlying conditions, stabilize profound behavioral changes, and manage sudden mood shifts safely.
Issues
Patients facing overwhelming life stressors—ranging from grief and the loss of physical abilities to severe agitation and withdrawal—find structured psychiatric relief within these specialized units. Because the mental health programs operate within a larger medical system, care teams can concurrently monitor co-occurring physical stressors like chronic pain, steep weight management challenges, or complex sleep disorders.
Programs
The inpatient behavioral medicine infrastructure is deeply specialized, splitting residents into a 16-bed Adult Behavioral Health track and a separate 12-bed Geriatric Behavioral Health unit. Both tracks integrate the hospital's foundational "I CARE" framework, ensuring integrity, accountability, and respect govern every clinical intervention and daily therapy session.
On-site
Amenities
Inpatient treatment takes place within enclosed, secure units designed to provide a warm and supportive atmosphere for individuals during times of acute distress. The physical environment acts as a safe haven that prioritizes patient security and immediate stabilization above all else.
Coverage
Payment
The admissions and financial services departments actively guide incoming patients through the complexities of coverage, broadly accepting Medicaid and private health insurance policies. Recognizing the unexpected nature of acute psychiatric admissions, the hospital also provides comprehensive financial counseling to help families navigate unexpected costs without prohibitive strain.
Please contact the facility directly to verify insurance coverage and payment options. Many facilities offer free insurance verification.
