Behavioral Health & Addiction

Emergency Mental Healthcare

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health crisis that puts you or others at risk, call 911 immediately. Tower Health emergency departments have behavioral health providers available 24/7:

Trusted Psychiatric Care

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who treat people with a full range of mental health conditions, including substance-use disorders. They use a variety of medical lab tests and psychological testing to understand your mental and physical health.

Psychiatrists use a wide range of treatments — from different types of psychotherapy (talk therapy) and medicines to advanced treatments like electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Our psychiatrists manage inpatient care, provide outpatient services, and treat people of all ages — including age-specific care for children and teens, and older adults.

Psychological Counseling

Psychologists treat people with mental health conditions, such as addiction, eating disorders, depression, or panic disorders. They also help people cope with life issues — from daily work stress or social difficulties to traumatic events, like job loss or the death of a loved one. They’re trained to perform mental health evaluations and psychological testing to discover what’s causing symptoms and use psychotherapy for treatment.

Our psychologists work as part of a team to provide inpatient care and offer personalized outpatient counseling for people of all ages, including children and teens, and older adults.

Comprehensive Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Our dual diagnosis program offers care for those experiencing a mental illness and a substance-use disorder, such as alcohol abuse and anxiety or opioid use and depression. Our approach combines the best treatment strategies for mental illness and addiction.

The program offers:

• An experienced team trained in mental health and addiction treatment
• Individual, group, and family counseling
• Psychiatric evaluations to ensure personal attention and guidance
• Management of medicines to keep you safe

Weight-Loss Surgery Evaluations

Our behavioral health team provides comprehensive weight-loss surgery evaluations as part of our outpatient behavioral health services. The assessment helps doctors make sure surgery is right for you. It also ensures you know what to expect and can cope with post-surgery challenges.

As we gather information about why you want the surgery and discuss your eating habits, dieting history, and other topics related to weight and food, it lets you explore your feelings. This in-depth analysis ensures you’re mentally and emotionally prepared for the surgery — which is vital for keeping the weight off.
