Mental Health and Addictions Service
Inpatient Psychiatric Service
What we do
The inpatient program is a 33-bed unit that includes twenty one ward beds, 10 acute care beds and four intermediate care beds. Services are provided by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, peer support, discharge planners, occupational therapist and pharmacist. The team provides psychiatric treatment for individuals requiring a safe and therapeutic 24-hour environment.
Treatment modalities include psychiatric care, pharmacological treatment, ECT, supportive therapy, primary nursing and group activities. Provisions of care strive to reflect principles of the Recovery Model.
