An individualized treatment plan is developed for each patient, and an aftercare plan assists in the transition to outpatient care and community services.
Dallas Behavioral Healthcare Hospital works closely with other professionals and social supports identified by the patient in order to ensure a strong continuing care plan to assist the client in long-term recovery.
A Holistic Approach to Inpatient Mental Health & Substance Use Treatment
We work with each patient as an individual, addressing each of his or her unique needs through a multidisciplinary treatment approach. Our multidisciplinary treatment team includes physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family counselors, nurses, adjunctive therapists and dieticians.
