Emergency Mental Health Care
The
Valley Health Emergency Psychiatric Assessment, Treatment and Healing (EmPATH)
unit based on the campus of Winchester Medical Center in Winchester, VA, offers immediate mental health care in a therapeutic environment. This unit is an alternative to the emergency room for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. This unit accepts direct patient walk-ins, to ensure timely and appropriate care in an environment designed to accommodate patients' needs.
Inpatient Care
Inpatient care
is for people who need 24-hour support in a hospital setting. You may benefit from inpatient care if you are at risk of harming yourself or others, or if your symptoms make it hard to care for yourself. Our inpatient team includes psychiatrists, nurses, therapists and case managers who work together to stabilize your condition and plan your next steps.
Outpatient Care
Outpatient care
allows you to live at home while attending scheduled therapy and treatment sessions. This option is best for people who are medically stable but need regular support. Our outpatient programs include individual therapy, group therapy, medication management and recovery services. We offer specialized tracks for adults and older adults.
