• Adjustment disorder
• Anxiety disorders
• Bipolar disorder
• Borderline personality disorder
• Depressive disorders
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder

Group Therapy

All patients in our adult mental health program will have the opportunity to participate in group therapy on a daily basis. Groups are structured and supportive environments in which participants can share their experiences, learn from the insights of others, and practice healthy and productive interpersonal communication skills, all under the guidance and supervision of a qualified professional.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions with experienced therapists can be excellent opportunities for adults to process issues and address concerns that they may be hesitant to bring up in a group setting. Individual therapy sessions allow patients to speak openly and confidentially, and to receive personalized feedback and guidance from a professional who will work closely with them throughout their time in the adult mental health program.

Family Therapy

At Longleaf Hospital, we understand that the impact of mental illness is rarely limited to the individual who is struggling with the disorder, and we also appreciate the key role that family members can play in supporting their loved one’s continued recovery. Family therapy is an excellent forum in which to heal damaged relationships, strengthen the family unit, and best prepare all participants to function in a healthier and more supportive manner.

Many symptoms of mental health disorders can be effectively treated with prescription medications. Adults whose symptoms respond to prescription medications can have medication management services incorporated into their personalized treatment plans.

The structure and substance of treatment in the adult mental health program at Longleaf are designed to promote an easing of symptoms, an increase in quality of life, and the development of the skills and strategies that will promote continued success.

To accomplish these objectives, the individuals who heal in this program work in close collaboration with experienced professionals whose skills are equaled only by their compassion and dedication. The multidisciplinary treatment teams at Longleaf Hospital include a psychiatrist, a pharmacist, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers, licensed counselors, and other experienced professionals.

At Longleaf Hospital, treatment is not a passive experience. All treatment is provided with the active involvement of the patient to the greatest degree that he or she can participate, and all treatment decisions are made based upon a close analysis of what is in the best interest of the individual who is receiving care.
