Programs and Services
Fairmount
Behavioral Health System provides a total therapeutic
environment through an individualized treatment program for each
patient. The emphasis is on group, family, educational, and activity
therapies, and the focus is on the patient as a unique individual.
Care is provided according to an established code of ethical conduct
and strict adherence to patient rights. Involvement of the family,
whenever possible, is encouraged to promote support for the
patient’s recovery.
Patient care is centered upon a holistic philosophy meeting the full
continuum of care. Resources are organized around each patient
through the development of an individualized, comprehensive
treatment plan. The patient’s strengths provide the cornerstone of
the treatment plan and are mobilized from admission, throughout
hospitalization and into discharge.
The staff of Fairmount Behavioral Health System strive to
maintain a total therapeutic environment through an individualized
treatment approach for each patient and family. Each program is
designed to provide services appropriate to the scope and level of
care required by the patient population served.
Comprehensive treatment oriented activities are provided by a
multidisciplinary staff. Clinical staff provides group therapy,
family therapy, activity therapy, recreational therapy, and
educational services. All clinical services are delivered by
qualified professional staff including, but not limited to,
psychiatrists, registered nurses, mental health workers, clinical
social workers, case managers, a psychologist, teacher, dietitian,
pharmacist, substance abuse counselors, and allied (including
recreational) therapists. Clinical services that are not available
within the facility may be provided through referral, consultation
or contractual agreements with area professionals and other health
care facilities.
The goal of treatment is to promote the highest level of functioning
for each patient with emphasis on individual, group and family
therapy provided at the least restrictive level of care. The
patient’s symptoms, strengths, family support and discharge needs
provide the basis for care from admission to discharge.
