What is Inpatient Behavioral Health Care?
Inpatient behavioral health care provides a high level of support for individuals facing severe behavioral and mental health challenges. It happens in a secure hospital setting, where patients receive 24/7 supervision and access to a multidisciplinary team of professionals, including psychiatrists, nurses, social workers and therapists. If you or a loved one have exhibited dangerous thoughts or behaviors and have not found success in a therapeutic group home or traditional outpatient setting, a more intensive treatment option may be a better fit. Our voluntary and involuntary inpatient treatment centers provide quality trauma-informed care that respects each patient’s dignity, independence and unique personal needs.
Outpatient behavioral health programs provide flexible, personalized care. Our programs offer a wide range of services including individual, family and group therapy.

How Inpatient Behavioral Health Care Works
Involuntary Admission
Involuntary inpatient care typically occurs due to a court order or an emergency where the individual is considered an immediate risk. Patients undergo evaluation by the treatment team and participate in regular meetings to track progress on treatment and discharge plans. A court date is usually scheduled within 20 days of admission to review the situation and determine the next steps.
Voluntary Admission
During voluntary inpatient care, you will meet with a behavioral health coordinator who will assess your condition and create a personalized treatment plan. This plan includes treatment goals and a discharge strategy tailored to your needs. Once admitted, your care team will work with you to set and achieve these goals, ensuring a supportive and collaborative recovery process.
Discharge Planning
For both voluntary and involuntary admissions, discharge is based on progress in the program. In involuntary cases, court outcomes also play a key role. Regular evaluations and care team meetings ensure that treatment plans are updated to reflect individual progress and needs.
What to Expect in an Inpatient Behavioral Health Program
When you are admitted to an inpatient program at Inspira, you’ll go through a thorough intake process—a complete medical evaluation, where your health history and current symptoms are assessed to ensure your safety and comfort.
Your care team will meet with you to discuss your concerns and plans for discharge. Treatment may include community meetings, goal-setting, education, art therapy, discharge planning, wellness and recovery discussions and social activities.
Discharge planning may include referrals to outpatient therapy, support groups or other community resources to help you maintain your progress. Inspira is committed to ensuring you have the resources and support necessary for a successful transition back to your independent life.
