Mount Carmel provides acute
inpatient behavioral healthcare services for adults 18 and older. Licensed by
the Ohio Department of Mental Health and accredited by the Joint Commission for
the Accreditation of Health Care Organization (JCAHO), our highly trained
interdisciplinary team includes psychiatrists, occupational therapists, nurses,
social workers, counselor assistants, chaplains, and other professionals.
Together they work with patients and their families to provide an
individualized treatment plan that strives to return patients to a community
setting as quickly as possible.
A family doctor or
therapist can arrange admission to Mount Carmel's
behavioral healthcare unit by calling 614-234-5096.
In the event of a mental
health emergency, go to the nearest mental health emergency services center
(Netcare Access, if in Franklin County), visit any hospital Emergency
Department, or call 911. Once an evaluation is complete, appropriate referrals
can be made. Crisis calls for patients recently discharged from the unit are
handled by the psychiatric services staff. |
