Psychiatric hospital care is indicated when people experience such severe emotional and physical pain and dysfunction, that coping with life's challenges is overwhelming. Sometimes the intensity of the stressor triggers the illness and often the illness itself is the trigger.

Our private hospital campus treats voluntary patients who are motivated to partner with our staff for the restoration of their pre-illness level of functioning. In addition, our Whole Person Care approach is designed to enhance competence in managing ones illness and life as a whole.

Serious conditions, such as suicidal depression, bipolar, and psychotic states can be safely and effectively treated at our hospital. Our staff is especially skilled at addressing dual diagnosis problems, treatment resistant depression, rapid cycling, mixed bipolar disorder, and severe anxiety conditions such as post traumatic stress disorder.

Riverside Center of Behavioral Medicine offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) psychotherapy. A therapy that was developed to resolve symptoms resulting from disturbing and unresolved life experiences (traumas). EMDR is a clinically researched and tested method for resolving past disturbing life experiences. Its applications are many; it is being successfully used to treat PTSD, anxiety disorders, mood disorders and a variety of disturbing life experiences, such as rape, childhood physical and sexual abuse, complicated grieving, and many others.
