Our Admissions Criteria
Glenwood Behavioral Health Hospital provides inpatient and outpatient psychiatric and dual diagnosis care for adolescents ages 13-17 and adults ages 18 and older. You might be an ideal candidate for inpatient treatment if you have been experiencing severe symptoms of a mental or behavioral health disorder and can benefit from round-the-clock care. We also offer partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs; patients may enter these levels of treatment directly or step down from a higher level of care.
Our hospital also serves adults whose mental health struggles are accompanied by a co-occurring substance use disorder.
All admissions decisions at our hospital are made on an individual basis following a thorough assessment of each person’s history and needs. If we determine that a person may be better served by another provider, our team will work with the patient and their family to make an appropriate referral.
We are available 24/7 to answer all admissions-related questions.
Our Admissions Process
We understand that the last things you want to worry about when seeking treatment for a mental health disorder are paperwork and dealing with your insurance company. We will do everything we can to make this process as efficient and seamless as possible.
