Russell County Medical Center – Clearview Center

Formerly called the Clearview Psychiatric Center, the Inpatient Behavioral Health Clinic – Clearview is located at Russell County Hospital in Lebanon, Virginia and operates under Ballad Health. They provide inpatient behavioral health services for adults and can accommodate up to 20 clients at one time. They accept admissions at any time of day or night and operate a 24 hour crisis hotline. They are in network with most private insurers and offer financial assistance and payment plans.

One unique feature of this Clinic is its central location within the hospital. If clients need extra help beyond what the unit can provide, the clinical team can route them to other departments. For instance, someone recovering from substance use disorder (SUD) may also require primary care services, which are also available on site.

Clients enter inpatient treatment for short term stabilization. As soon as they’re admitted, they’ll connect with a board certified psychiatrist to discuss their needs, share their recovery goals, and work on their customized treatment plan. The clinic is very well appointed, with a large multi purpose room, recreational therapy space, full kitchen, and group therapy room. In addition to attending individual and group therapy sessions, clients may also engage in other services based on their plan, such as life skills development, anger management courses, medication management, and relapse prevention training.

Reviewers state that the facility is clean and well organized, creating an environment that’s conducive to healing. However, others mention that communicating with staff members can be challenging, especially when it comes to managing their psychiatric medications.
