Important things to know
- We are a non-smoking facility.
- Once you come to Peace Hospital for an evaluation, we must call the on-call psychiatrist, and have you sign paperwork before you can exit.
- Your doctor will determine what medications will be continued or discontinued during your stay.
- Once you have been accepted by a provider, your request for discharge will be evaluated case by case by your psychiatrist or APRN.
- Visitation times and phone call times vary depending on your assigned unit. You will be given that information by registration.
- Length of stay will be determined by your treatment needs and psychiatrist/APRN. We are not a long-term facility.
- We encourage family involvement during your stay. To talk with your family and friends during your stay, your family/friends will need your patient ID number which will be provided to you at the time of registration.
- We do offer outpatient programs including partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient. These are group therapy-based programs. You may see a psychiatrist/APRN weekly if recommended by the program.
