Acute inpatient mental Health care

Inpatient mental health treatment is indicated for people experiencing severe mental illness that impacts their ability to function independently and safely.

Palo Verde Behavioral Health (PVBH) provides a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) for adults age 18 and up who are in need of 24-hour Palo Verde Behavioral Healthization. The unit provides a thorough medical, psychiatric and psychosocial assessment, as well as risk assessment for suicide or other violence. Intensive psychiatric care is provided in the form of group, individual, family and psychopharmacological treatment. Length of stay in the PICU is relatively short with emphasis on stabilization and development of a step down treatment plan.
