When you’re struggling with your mental health, finding the right treatment can feel overwhelming. At Peak Behavioral Health in Santa Teresa, NM, we offer both acute inpatient and outpatient programs for individuals experiencing mental health crises. We strive to provide a safe, structured environment that helps manage symptoms, stabilize patients, and equip them with tools to sustain long-term mental health. We know that no two people are the same, and that’s why we personalize treatment based on individual needs, offering services such as group therapy, individual counseling, and creative outlets like art therapy.
From anxiety and depression to more complex conditions like bipolar disorder, our team of specialized staff is equipped to address a wide range of psychiatric issues.
Inpatient Care
For those in a mental health crisis, our inpatient program offers round-the-clock care and monitoring. This program provides the structure and stability needed to help patients recover. Available for adolescents ages 12 and up, adults, and seniors, inpatient care is especially beneficial for individuals facing severe psychiatric or behavioral issues who need a secure environment.
During your stay, you’ll have access to a wide range of services, including medication management, medical monitoring, and various forms of therapy. Our team works closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific challenges.
Outpatient Day Treatment
Not everyone requires 24-hour care, but some individuals still need intensive support. We offer outpatient day treatment, also known as partial hospitalization, that provides the structure and therapeutic environment many patients need, without requiring an overnight stay.
Participants attend treatment five days a week, spending six hours per day in therapy and other therapeutic activities. This program offers flexibility, allowing you to return home in the evenings while receiving the care you need during the day. It’s a great option for those who need a higher level of support but aren’t in crisis.
Medical Detox
For individuals facing a substance use disorder, medical detox is often the necessary first step toward recovery. At Peak Behavioral Health, we provide medically monitored detox programs that prioritize your safety and comfort.
Using evidence-based methodologies, we ensure that each patient is closely monitored by medical professionals. We don’t just treat the symptoms of withdrawal—we address the whole person, taking into account your complete history and individual needs.
Specialized Care for Adolescents
Adolescence is already a challenging time, and when mental health issues or substance use become part of the equation, it can feel even more overwhelming. That’s why we’ve designed adolescent programs specifically for young people aged 12-17 who need more support than traditional outpatient care can provide.
Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) for adolescents offers intensive care during the day, allowing them to return home each evening. Youth in the program receive both therapeutic support and educational services, ensuring that they don’t fall behind in school while working on their mental health.
For those who need more comprehensive, long-term care, we offer a psychiatric residential treatment program that provides a safe and structured environment where young people can work through emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric challenges. Our team of therapists, psychiatrists, and support staff collaborates to help adolescents build healthy coping strategies that they can carry with them into adulthood.
Assertive Community Treatment
Mental health challenges don’t always fit neatly into a schedule. That’s why we offer assertive community treatment (ACT), a program designed to bring services directly to you. The ACT team is made up of behavioral healthcare professionals, including psychiatrists, counselors, nurses, and social workers. Available 24/7, this team works together to provide support tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
For individuals living with severe mental illness, ACT offers the flexibility and accessibility that many need to stay on the path of recovery.
Addressing the Unique Needs of Older Adults
Mental health challenges don’t disappear as we age—in fact, they can become even more pressing. Our Senior Adult Program offers specialized care for individuals 55 and older who may be experiencing emotional or behavioral challenges, memory loss, or substance misuse concerns.
The program focuses on short-term crisis stabilization, with an emphasis on sensitivity and understanding. Our team at Peak Behavioral Health works closely with each senior to ensure that their emotional and mental health needs are met with compassion and care.
Supporting Long-Term Recovery
At Peak Behavioral Health, we believe that recovery doesn’t end when you leave our facility. We team up with outpatient services and local providers to make sure you have a smooth transition back to your regular life. We’re not just focused on helping you feel better while you’re here – we want to give you the know-how and resources to keep improving long after you leave. Our commitment is to set you up for lasting success, so you can confidently continue your journey to wellness.
