What to Expect at Inpatient Treatment

We provide personal hygiene items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo and soap.

The following items are also allowed, but they’ll be held in a personal belongings locker and issued during times of supervision:

Dress Code

The patient dress code is casual and we want you to be comfortable. However, revealing attire is not allowed — no halter tops, tube tops, fishnet shirts, or short-shorts. And clothing may not contain offensive or controversial messages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Assessments at Beckett Springs

When you first arrive, the assessment department will evaluate your unique challenges including symptoms, behaviors and current medications. The medical team will review this information and determine a comprehensive treatment plan for you, whether you are admitted immediately or recommended for outpatient care.

 

During Your Stay

 

Work With a Multidisciplinary Team

 

Psychiatrist

Responsible for coordinating your overall care, prescribing medication and other procedures that are appropriate components of your treatment. The physician is the only team member with the authority to discharge you.

Staff Nurse

Performs duties as prescribed by a physician, including administering medication, observing your behavior, and reporting on your conditions to treatment team members.

Patient Care
Assistant (PCA)

Assists you through your daily routine.


Recreational/
Expressive
Therapist

Provides therapy through games, crafts, leisure education, creative expression, relaxation training and more.


Therapist/
Social Worker

Provides individual and family therapy and acts as the liaison between you, your family, and the treatment team.

 

After Your Stay

 

Before you leave the hospital, you will meet with a therapist who will go over the discharge plan with you. This is a chance for you to ask questions about your medications and follow-up. In many cases, patients participate in one of our outpatient treatment programs to facilitate the transition back to everyday life.

Alumni Support

Our goal is to provide support and encouragement to those who have completed our treatment programs. The alumni support group is open to patients that complete their treatment programs and are looking to further their recovery, find support, and connect with others in the community with similar goals.

In these groups, patients can support each other in times of need, share their experiences, and create strength together. Many of our patients have testified to making new friends in their recovery process at Beckett Springs. At the end of the day, it’s nice to be reminded that there are others like you, who understand your emotional process, have felt the same struggles, and take their recovery as seriously as you do.

If you have any questions about our alumni support program, please call us at 513-942-9500.
