Larkin Behavioral Health Services provides separate inpatient treatment wings for adults and adolescents, providing a safe, nurturing environment for patients in detox and mental health recovery.

The Outpatient Behavioral Health Department at Larkin Community Hospital encompasses a broad range of therapeutic approaches and disciplines to assist the individual in achieving his/her individual goals and potential.

Utilizing an individualized, comprehensive multi-disciplinary treatment team approach, we assist patients to gain insight into their issues leading up to treatment and help them to develop tools to deal more effectively with their unique life stressors.

Using varied therapeutic approaches, we provide a strong foundation and treatment structure within a caring environment to help individual patients achieve recovery and stability.  Our goal is to instill self-discipline and self-determination so that our patients can eventually reach their potential and maintain stability. We also strive to assist patients beginning their road to a lasting fulfilling life of recovery by encouraging them to address the areas that they need to change to decrease deterioration.

The Outpatient Behavioral Health Department at Larkin Community Hospital offers daily outpatient psychotherapeutic group interventions for adults (including the geriatric population) who are dually diagnosed (criteria for admission is an Axis I psychiatric diagnosis), along with weekly medication management by our psychiatrist and individual and/or family therapy as needed.
