Adult Mental Health Program The Adult Mental Health (AMH) Program includes three inpatient units (East, West, and Central) totaling 114 beds. Each unit serves adults, 18 and over, who have a variety of psychiatric diagnoses. Individuals may be experiencing psychiatric crisis due to new or recurring mental illness, non-compliance with medications, use of intoxicants, psychosocial stressors, or a combination of these factors. The mission of the AMH Program is to stabilize and improve the functioning of persons with severe mental illness and behavioral health challenges. Forensic Services Program The Forensic Services Program includes three medium-secure inpatient units (Secure 1, Secure 2, and Secure 3) totaling 124 beds. Each unit serves adults, 18 and over, with a variety of psychiatric diagnoses and who have been deemed Incompetent to Stand Trial or Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity by the court system. Most persons admitted as Incompetent to Stand Trial are returned to the referring court upon discharge to address their criminal charges. Those who are civilly committed work on developing the skills necessary for a court-approved conditional release or full release into the community. Developmental Disabilities Program The Developmental Disabilities Program includes one Skilled Nursing Unit (SNF), which has a current census of 29. Individuals on this unit are profound- to severely-developmentally disabled and have medical needs that require a skilled nursing level of care. The unit serves both males and females of any age.
