Morton Plant North Bay Hospital Recovery Center is a Baker Act-receiving facility, which means that loved ones can enroll someone involuntarily to receive emergency treatment for severe mental or behavioral health concerns.
Morton Plant provides immediate stabilization services to help these people through episodes where they put themselves or others at risk. The care team has a lot of experience with striking the balance between allowing involuntary patients a certain level of independence and providing the necessary care.
Once stabilized, the care team takes them through several assessments to identify the ideal treatment method needed for their needs.
The short-term inpatient care at Morton Plant typically takes 3-7 days to complete. Patients attend individual and group therapy sessions to discuss goal-oriented recovery techniques that can help them reclaim their lives.
Past residents mention being disappointed by the frequency of group therapy sessions. Some were unimpressed with the staff members’ bedside manner, while others admired the no-nonsense attitude the staff used throughout their stay.
