Inpatient careThe Behavioral Health Program at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center provides a patient–centered approach to acute behavioral health needs. We offer evidence-based treatment designed to improve the outcomes for our patients and their families.
Adult Program This program is located on a 24-bed unit and offers specialized treatment for acute psychiatric and substance abuse needs. Services begin with intensive evaluation provided by a multidisciplinary team that includes psychiatrists, primary care physicians, mental health counselors, alcohol and drug counselors, and registered nurses. A multidisciplinary plan is formulated and patients are involved in services aimed at rapidly stabilizing their condition and preparing them for the next level of care. We offer medically supervised detoxification for individuals who are dependent on drugs and alcohol. Our daily program is structured and patients are involved in a variety of services including activity therapy, group therapy, educational groups, individual counseling, family counseling, individual teaching as well as medication management. We also utilize case management to ensure continuity with outpatient care to ensure the best outcomes for our patients and families.
Adolescent Program Our adolescent program occurs on a 6 bed-unit for adolescents 12-18. With each admission, we provide a comprehensive assessment through our multidisciplinary team. Parental involvement in the assessment and treatment process is critical and family therapy is initiated during the stay. A structured program exists, including a point system to assist adolescents in regaining control of their behavior. Adolescents are involved in activity therapy, group therapy, and individual counseling. Emphasis is placed on discharge planning and adolescents are transitioned to other levels of care as soon as possible.
Admissions and Referrals Admissions can be coordinated through the Behavioral Health intake department at 920-451-5485
Outpatient servicesOutpatient services are provided at The Center. Mental health patients receive evaluation services provided by a master's level therapist, followed by a variety of therapies. These may include group, and family therapy. Therapy is often brief, lasting six to twelve sessions. Those mental health patients requiring psychiatric evaluation and/or medication are referred to Aurora Sheboygan Clinic.
Alcohol and drug abuse patients receive a complete assessment by a certified alcohol and drug counselor. Many patients are then involved in Primary Outpatient Treatment. This structured program provides group therapy three times per week for 12 weeks. Individual and family therapy are added as needed. Patients then enter Continuing Care, which includes weekly group therapy, individual, and family therapy as needed.
Relapse Prevention services consisting of specialized groups are available for those patients assessed as meeting criteria for being "relapse prone." Lengths of stay in both mental health services and alcohol and drug services vary based on patient's progress.
In conjunction with Aurora Sheboygan ClinicAurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center and Aurora Sheboygan Clinic work closely together. Aurora Sheboygan Clinic's psychiatrists care for most of the inpatients at Sheboygan Memorial. They continue to see and supervise those patients that go to The Center. Because Aurora Sheboygan Clinic's psychiatrists provide medical supervision at The Center, continuity for The Center's patients receiving medication is also maintained.
