About Lake Behavioral Hospital
The provider offers organized inpatient, outpatient, and day treatment services for adolescents, adults, and older adults who are dealing with depression, trauma, anxiety, substance use, and related co-occurring challenges. The multidisciplinary team runs intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP), with admissions available within the same week and scheduling that can adapt to individual needs. Licensed therapists facilitate group sessions focused on improving coping strategies, emotional regulation, and interpersonal communication. When medication is required, psychiatrists oversee prescribing and monitoring. Treatment plans are tailored to each person and may include creative therapies such as art and music, mindfulness-based activities including yoga and tai chi, and weekly family therapy. Across all phases of treatment, the staff uses evidence-based, trauma-informed methods. The team also helps coordinate transportation, maintains a steady daily routine, and assists teens with on-site academic support. Discharge planning starts early, ensuring participants are connected to reliable community resources so they can continue making progress after the program concludes.
