The Mental Health Acute Day Hospital cares for people with intense mental health issues or concerns. We offer:
- More closely monitored care than what is offered by community MHA clinics
- Support after you are discharged from an inpatient psychiatric unit, when you do not need 24-hour care
The Day Hospital supports your recovery through:
- Outpatient (day) treatment
- Group therapy
- Helping you stay connected with your loved ones and the community
You can come to the Day Hospital during the day and return home in the evening.
The Day Hospital offers intensive care and goal-directed group and one-on-one therapy, like:
- Monitoring your response to medication(s)
- Long-acting injections (LAI) of antipsychotic medication
- Drug therapy (like clozapine)
- Blood tests
- Coping strategies for healthy living
- Physical health exam
- Healthy eating education
- Help connecting with community supports
Clients usually take part in the Day Hospital for about 4 weeks.
