When a teen is in crisis from a mental health concern, it’s crucial to get them help immediately. Inpatient treatment at Longleaf Hospital serves adolescents ages 13-17 who are struggling with severe symptoms of mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Hospitalization is most appropriate for young people whose symptoms are so overwhelming that they can no longer function, and they may be at risk for harming themselves or someone else. Because of this, every teen receives round-the-clock care from a multidisciplinary team of experts that ensures their safety and fosters their continued progress. The goal of hospitalization is for a young person to feel stable enough to transition to a lower level of care or back home, which is why inpatient stays are usually short. Most young people remain at our hospital for seven to 10 days, but we evaluate each teen individually before deciding when they should take the next steps in their healing process. By working with the compassionate professionals at Longleaf, young people can set the groundwork for lasting healing.

Oceans Alexandria provides outpatient mental health services in a safe and comfortable environment with individual and group treatment programs designed to meet the specific needs of patients during many stages of life.

Sometimes the symptoms of a behavioral health condition can become so severe that a person can no longer function. When this happens, they may need crisis intervention services to help them feel more stable again. Longleaf Hospital provides inpatient treatment for adults age 18 and older who are suffering from intense symptoms of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We also support people who are struggling with addictions to substances like alcohol, cocaine, and benzodiazepines. Before a person starts any treatment at Longleaf, we evaluate their needs to ensure that hospitalization is right for them. This level of care is usually best for someone who needs round-the-clock support, and it is often a short-term experience because the goal is for the person to step down to a lower level of care or safely return home. While everyone heals at their own pace, the typical length of an inpatient stay at Longleaf is about seven to 10 days depending on each person’s individual progress.

At Longleaf Hospital, we offer an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for adults age 18 and older whose lives have been disrupted by mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We also support those who are struggling with addictions to substances like opioids, alcohol, and cocaine. This program can be beneficial for people who need a more structured therapeutic schedule than they would receive in traditional outpatient therapy but don’t require the round-the-clock care of inpatient treatment. In an IOP, people take part in programming for about half the day most of the week, which offers them the flexibility to carry on with their daily lives with fewer interruptions. This schedule also gives them the chance to practice the skills they are learning in therapy in real-life settings and then get feedback in group and one-on-one counseling sessions. While everyone heals at their own pace, most people participate in the IOP at our hospital in Alexandria, Louisiana, for about two to six weeks. We evaluate everyone individually to decide the best time for them to transition to the next step on their healing journey.
