WCH Behavioral Health

Comprehensive Behavioral Health Services

The Path to Mental Health Wellness Can Begin with Us!

Our behavioral health programs are designed for those diagnosed with:

  • Depression
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Generalized anxiety disorder
  • Panic disorder
  • Schizophrenia
  • Other mental health issues

If you or someone you love is having difficulty coping with the daily struggles of depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues, Behavioral Health Services at Wooster Community Hospital may be able to help.

Behavioral Health Services offers two levels of outpatient treatment, both with access to a psychiatrist. A majority of our patients complete their psychiatric evaluation within 48 hours. The programs offered are called Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP). Below is a continuum of the levels of care we offer for mental health treatment (our services are highlighted in red):

 

At the conclusion of treatment clients have reported:

  •  92% reduction in suicidal thoughts
  •  59% reduction in depression
  •  56% reduction in anxiety
  •  70% reduction in repetitive thoughts and behaviors
  •  62% reduction in anger

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

This program makes for a perfect step-up from the traditional outpatient program. The IOP is less intensive than the PHP. The IOP client will attend the program 2-4 days a week for three hours a day.

Group therapy is offered from 9 am to 12 pm. Staff will work with the client to customize the program to the client’s availability and their individual needs. Individual counseling, family therapy, and follow-up with the psychiatrist can be provided as well.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

This level of care provides clients with a safe and structured treatment environment without a total disruption of their daily routine. The PHP client will attend the program 5 days each week and participate in four group sessions each day.

Along with group sessions, the client will participate in individual and family counseling as well as psychiatric evaluation and medication management with our psychiatrist. PHP clients are involved in treatment generally from 9 am to 2 pm daily.

PHP is ideal for clients who want to maintain their independence in the community but require increased access to therapeutic skills, counseling, and support from mental health clinicians.

Insurance

Behavioral Health Services contracts with most insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance. To determine what your insurance will cover with our programs, please contact your insurance provider.

Referrals

Referrals to WCH Behavioral Health Services can be made by health care providers, mental health agencies, employee assistance programs, or by the patient. The cost of the program is covered by most insurance plans and Medicare. To make a referral, or to obtain more information, call Behavioral Health Services at (330) 263-8710.

Both programs offer the patient a personalized treatment plan that can include individual, couples, and family counseling. Each patient works closely with their treatment team to obtain their goals.

Your personalized treatment team consists of:

  • Master’s level licensed clinician
  • Psychiatric nurse
  • Board-certified psychiatrist

Patients who enter either program will have a psychiatric evaluation by our psychiatrist. A majority of patients who enter the programs will be seen by a psychiatrist within 48 hours of admission.

During treatment in either program, staff will work with the patient’s established outpatient providers in an effort to coordinate and improve treatment outcomes.

Services provided include:

  • Group therapy (facilitated by a licensed therapist)
  • Individual and/or family counseling, as needed
  • Medication management by a board-certified psychiatrist
  • Interventions by the nursing staff
  • Aftercare planning

Group topics include:

  • Stress management
  • Anger management
  • Identifying coping skills
  • Obstacles and barriers to mental wellness
  • Emotions and behaviors
  • Problem solving
  • Crisis management and safety planning
  • Improving self-esteem
  • Healthy living
  • Boundaries
  • Grief and loss
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Illness management
  • Education on numerous topics including mental health diagnosis and medications

The programs allow patients to obtain the treatment needed during the day and return to the comfort and familiarity of their own homes in the evening. Lunch is served at the center. Transportation services can be arranged within Wayne County.

The programs serve adults 18 and older. Individuals with a variety of mental health diagnoses may qualify. However, clients must be cognitively and emotionally capable of participating in group therapy. Participants may not be actively homicidal or suicidal.
