Inpatient Care
Highlands Behavioral Health Services offers inpatient psychiatric treatment for adults 55 and older (unless deemed medically necessary by the Medical Director) and is a Medicare based program.
Inpatient care involves stabilizing the crisis that led to the hospitalization. A thorough physical and mental evaluation is completed to determine the cause or causes of the emotional/medical problem. All care is provided in a supportive environment with 24-hour nursing care to help ensure the well-being of each patient.
To Make a Referral
The Behavioral Health Services referral process has been streamlined to offer easy access. If you have a patient in need of our services, simply call (606) 886-7631 or 1-866-886-7631. After completion of an initial assessment, a determination of treatment will be discussed with the Medical Director and the patient may then be admitted. If for some reason the patient does not meet criteria for the unit, a lower level of care will be offered and appropriate or community resources will be given. A follow-up appointment will be made with the Primary Care Physician regarding the disposition of the patient.
