Adult Services(Back to Top) Inpatient Hospitalization Peninsula Hospital's inpatient program is designed to provide 24-hour nursing/physician care and crisis intervention/stabilization services. Individuals who are admitted into Peninsula Hospital often require medical observation and regulation of prescription medications. Some may seek help because they are severely impaired in their thinking or are suffering from thought disorder. Others may be a danger to themselves or others due to suicidal or homicidal thoughts or psychiatric illness. All of Peninsula's programs utilize a team approach that combines the diverse talents of our psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, family therapists, alcohol/drug counselors and activity therapists for effective treatment plans and interventions. Together, these professionals develop a treatment plan based on the individuals needs. Our efforts are focused on helping the patient quickly transfer to a lesser level or care once medically and emotionally stable. Adult Alcohol/Drug Treatment An important feature of Peninsula Hospital's Inpatient Alcohol/Drug Treatment Program is our ability to provide a medically sound detoxification and address accompanying depression or other emotional problems. Peninsula interrupts the life-threatening disease of addiction, identifies contributing factors, and establishes a workable plan for a lifestyle that is free of alcohol and drug use. Adolescent Services(Back to Top) Adolescent Inpatient Program Hundreds of concerned parents call Peninsula for help each year. Our professionals work hard to evaluate each situation and recommend the most appropriate, least restrictive form of treatment. Some adolescents, however, may require inpatient hospital care to interrupt their self-destructive behavior. Perhaps an adolescent has admitted to or been caught drinking or using drugs -- which are not only dangerous in their own right, but can also contribute to depression and mood swings. Maybe an adolescent has run away from home resulting in periods of time when parents didn't know where he was or what he was doing. Other adolescents suffer from severe emotional problems resulting in abnormal sleeping and eating habits or hostile behavior. By utilizing a team approach, Peninsula's professional staff of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, alcohol/drug counselors and activities therapists begins to address the adolescent's behavior while searching for underlying factors. Peninsula Hospital's Adolescent Inpatient Program includes a "levels system" for defining patient responsibilities and privileges, as well as rules, regulations and expectations of behavior. We create a strongly structured program for adolescents so we can immediately interrupt their negative behavior and conduct a thorough assessment. Peninsula's staff then develops a comprehensive treatment outline and implements a continuing care plan. In some specific circumstances a referral for longer-term residential care may be made to Peninsula Hospital's Basic Skills Unit. Adolescents usually begin to make progress while at Peninsula Hospital, but parents should not expect them to be "cured" upon discharge. Typically, an adolescent's hospital stay is a crucial step, but it is quite brief in length. So, we recommend continuing care in an Outpatient Program. Specialized Services(Back to Top) Children's Inpatient Services Parents, teachers and other adults who work with young people know that adolescents and children have different developmental issues. That's why Peninsula has developed separate treatment programs for children. These programs are designed for children who suffer from a learning disability/attention deficit disorder, behavioral problems or emotional difficulties stemming from a divorce, loved one's death, or other major stress factors. And, unfortunately many of the children we treat have been emotionally, physically or sexually abused. Too often, children's emotional and behavioral problems do not get better by themselves, but actually get worse if left untreated. Our programs are designed to provide professional help, identify necessary resources and increase the chances of a better quality adolescence and adulthood. Child/Adolescent In-Home Services Peninsula offers comprehensive in-home treatment services for children and adolescents, ages 5 to 18, who are suffering from emotional or behavioral health problems. By having this program brought to the home, parents and youth can learn to develop practical, effective methods of dealing with difficult situations, to better communicate with each other and to gain knowledge about emotional problems and alcohol/drug abuse.
