Maine Medical Center provides highly specialized inpatient psychiatric care to medically-complex and unstable patients. Our inpatient unit provides 24/7 multidisciplinary behavioral health and medical care. This therapeutic environment promotes safety and adapts to the needs of individuals with cognitive and functional impairments.
We develop individualized behavioral health treatment plans that support patient and family participation. We also educate patients and their caregivers about their illness, treatment options, risks of non-treatment and prognosis. Our goal is to return patients to community living at an appropriate level of care with support services in place.
