St. Patrick's Psychiatric Hospital in Monroe, Louisiana, was designed to meet the challenges that aging brings to many of us, including the most difficult - physical illnesses that affect the brain and masquerades as emotional changes of aging.
St. Patrick's provides both inpatient and outpatient services in a comfortable, relaxed, homelike environment which enhances desired treatment outcomes and provides geriatric patients the full benefits possible to overcome personal difficulties.
Each treatment plan is customized to the individual needs. Admissions begins with a complete physical and psychiatric evaluation. A team of doctors, nurses, social workers and mental health technicians develop and put into motion a tailored treatment plan that addresses the medical and emotional needs of each individual. Treatment comes in many forms including medication, group and family meetings, physical exercise and projects to "wake up" unused parts of the brain.
