The Adult Behavioral Health Program
 The
path to recovery
The Adult Program at Aurora Psychiatric Hospital is built upon the belief
that recovery from mental health and substance abuse problems can be
achieved through a comprehensive approach to one's psychological and social
needs. We offer an evidence-based approach that provides the hope, healing,
empowerment and connection that makes recovery possible. We believe that
recovery can occur even though symptoms may recur and that individuals are
responsible for the solution, not the problem.

Inpatient care
The Adult Behavioral Unit is a 24-bed unit for acutely ill psychiatric
and substance abuse patients. Services begin with intensive evaluation
provided by a multidisciplinary team including psychiatrists, primary care
physicians, mental health counselors, alcohol and drug counselors, and
registered nurses.
A
multidisciplinary plan is formulated and patients are involved in services
aimed at rapidly stabilizing their condition and preparing them for the
next level of care. Alcohol and drug patients are detoxified. Acute
psychiatric patients may be stabilized on medication. The daily program is
structured and patients are involved in a variety of services including
activity therapy, group therapy, educational groups, individual
counseling, family counseling, and individual teaching.
Average lengths of stay
are around 5 days. Emphasis is placed
through case management on discharge planning.
Outpatient services
Outpatient services are provided at The Center. Mental health patients
receive evaluation services provided by a master's level therapist, followed
by a variety of therapies. These may include group, and family therapy.
Therapy is often brief, lasting 6-12 sessions. Those mental health
patients requiring psychiatric evaluation and/or medication are referred to
Aurora Sheboygan Clinic.
Alcohol and drug abuse patients receive a complete assessment by a
certified alcohol and drug counselor. Many patients are then involved in
Primary Outpatient Treatment. This structured program provides group therapy
3 times per week for 12 weeks. Individual and family therapy are added
as needed. Patients then enter Continuing Care, which includes weekly group,
individual and family therapy as needed.
Relapse Prevention services consisting of specialized groups are
available for those patients assessed as meeting criteria for being
"relapse prone." Lengths of stay in both mental health services
and alcohol and drug services vary based on patient's progress.
