on crisis/relapse prevention, problem solving skills, cognitive behavioral
therapies, medication compliance education, and physical health regulation.
Geriatric Behavioral Health Services
Senior adults face more unique, medically complex problems specific to
their age group. Whether it's brought on by dementia, medications, or
other chronic conditions, many older adults benefit from individual and
group sessions, as well as medication adjustments when appropriate. Our

quality of care from admission to discharge, providing goal-oriented,
