About HealthSource Saginaw – Saginaw
HealthSource Saginaw is located in Saginaw, Michigan. Everything they do is geared toward recovery. They work with people suffering from severe emotional distress, mental health issues and addiction to recover and lead a fulfilling life. You’ll be surrounded by trained medical and psychological professionals to give you the best possible environment for healing. They accept most insurance plans. If you have Medicaid or don’t have insurance you must be assessed by the community mental health authority that represents the county you live in.
Their treatment is broken up into four sectors. They have child and adolescent inpatient psychiatric care for 8 to 17 year olds, adult inpatient psychiatric care, geriatric inpatient psychiatric care and an adult inpatient chemical dependency treatment program.
They have a 24/7 intake line for calls about admissions, and they prefer a phone screening with one of their advisors before arrival if possible. Then, a psychiatrist will meet with your advisor to decide if you’ll be admitted or not.
The child and adolescent inpatient psychiatric care and adult inpatient psychiatric care pretty much use the same model as far as treatment methods and treatment teams. They look to stabilize the crisis that led you to be hospitalized, evaluate and develop a treatment plan and provide a supportive environment with coordinated care. Your inpatient treatment teams will be made up of therapists, psychiatrists, registered nurses, mental health techs and primary care doctors. Your treatment includes a behavioral health diagnostic evaluation, 24 hour monitoring and supervision, medication management and stabilization, patient education, group and recreational therapy, discharge and follow up care.
After your discharge, they want to make sure you continue your progress. You’ll work with their discharge team and your family if possible, to make sure your recovery and return to everyday life is successful. Your aftercare plan might include a day hospitalization program, community program or outpatient therapy.
Their geriatric inpatient psychiatric care is for those aged 60 and over, and it’s focussed on people with an acute psychiatric disorder who might also have an underlying medical issue. You’ll have a psychiatrist and an internal medicine physician co-managing your care during this program. They use the same model as the child and adult inpatient care, but they have occupational therapy and treatment for specialized groups based on cognitive function. Plus they add occupational therapists and speech language pathologists to the treatment team.
They also have an adult inpatient chemical dependency treatment program. This is designed for people 18 and over who need immediate detox.
In their programs, they’ll make a thorough assessment of your social environment and your support systems. Then they’ll figure out a treatment plan to deal with both addiction and psychological issues while keeping you away from situations that brought you there in the first place. They’ll also coordinate follow up support for you.
