Riverside Mental Health Services

Riverside Medical Center in Kankakee, Illinois, offers a behavioral health department to treat a variety of disorders in children, teens, adults and seniors. They offer inpatient and outpatient services with different programs for adults, adolescents and seniors. They accept dual-diagnosis patients.

The team at Riverside includes psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, licensed counselors and nurses. These professionals are qualified to help you hope with your mental health challenges. They’ll use a variety of screenings and therapies to develop a plan that suits your needs. You’ll also have access to a large network of specialists if you need additional care beyond what Riverside can offer.

Riverside offers short-term, immediate hospitalization for severe mental health issues. They also offer day treatment that allows you to go home in the evenings.

To begin treatment, you’ll need to call the central intake department. You’ll have an assessment to figure out which level of care is right for you.

I like that Riverside Medical runs a podcast called Well Within Reach. Medical experts discuss all sorts of topics related to behavioral medicine. This is a great way to become educated to support your loved one or to better understand your own struggles.
