Indio, California’s Premier Inpatient Treatment Program for Behavioral Health

Our adult inpatient program is intended to be a short-term care option for those who require immediate intervention. The program typically lasts for an average of seven to 10 days, although each patient’s length of stay is determined on an individual basis.  

While in our adult inpatient program, individuals receive round-the-clock monitoring from a team of caring professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, medical staff, dietitians, therapists, and other behavioral health experts. Our staff provides focused care and emotional support, helping patients regain stability so that they can step down to a less restrictive level of care or return home safely. 

Our inpatient psychiatric hospital offers crisis care for the following behavioral health concerns: 

• Depressive disorders   
• Anxiety disorders   
• Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)   
• Bipolar disorder   
• Psychosis    
• Schizoaffective disorder   
• Schizophrenia   
• Self-harm   
• Suicidal ideation  

Our team recognizes that individuals who are battling mental illnesses may turn to substances to cope, which can worsen behavioral health symptoms and lead to addiction. For those who have co-occurring substance use disorders, we offer inpatient care that addresses both mental health concerns and chemical dependency. We also provide integrated care for individuals who have a secondary diagnosis of an eating disorder.  

At Coachella Valley Behavioral Health, patients can receive comprehensive care that addresses their immediate behavioral health needs and supports their long-term success. In our adult inpatient program, we strive to help patients develop practical coping skills that can assist them as they progress in their healing journey. 

Seeking inpatient care can be an essential first step toward healing for individuals who are suffering from acute behavioral health concerns. Our adult inpatient program offers a secure environment where individuals who are in crisis can receive a high level of care and 24/7 supervision.  

If you fit the following criteria, you may benefit from our intensive inpatient services: 

• You are an immediate danger to yourself or others. 
• Your struggles with mental illness have negatively impacted your ability to function on a day-to-day basis.

In the adult inpatient program, a person’s care may include the following: 

• Basic medical care: Doctors and nursing staff provide medical interventions, such as CPAP machines, care for certain preexisting medical conditions, and emergency services. Medical care is offered at admission and on an as-needed basis. 
• Medication management services: Patients who take medications as part of their treatment plans may benefit from regular meetings with a psychiatrist or other professionals who can prescribe medication and adjust the dosage as needed.  
• Medical detox services: Those who have co-occurring substance use disorders may receive detox services at the start of their care. Detox services are delivered by highly trained medical staff and provided on a case-by-case basis.  
• Family therapy: We strive to help families resolve conflicts and enhance their communication skills through family therapy. Led by a licensed clinical social worker, licensed clinical professional counselor, or licensed marriage and family therapist, family therapy can help families learn how to optimally support their loved ones during and after their time with us. Family therapy is provided as needed. 
• Group therapy: Group therapy is an essential part of inpatient programming because it provides an opportunity for patients to develop important skills and establish supportive relationships with peers. Groups are led by behavioral health professionals and cover topics like trauma, coping skills, relationship skills, and managing thoughts and feelings. Group therapy is offered multiple times each day. 
• Experiential therapies: We provide a range of activities, like recreation, art, music, and yoga, that are guided by therapists and certified instructors. By participating in experiential therapies, patients can identify associated emotions and learn to cope with difficult, repressed feelings related to past experiences. These activities are offered daily. 

At our inpatient hospital, we incorporate an array of research-backed therapies. As part of a person’s individualized care, they may engage in evidence-based interventions, including: 

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT is based on the belief that a person’s thoughts and behaviors affect their feelings. Through CBT, people can learn to identify and reframe unhealthy thoughts so that they can begin to feel better. 
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): DBT can help people learn to regulate emotions by empowering them to accept difficult feelings and choose healthy behaviors instead of reacting impulsively. 
• Motivational interviewing: Motivational interviewing is a patient-centered therapy technique that promotes positive behavior changes by helping individuals explore and resolve ambivalence. 
• Solution-focused therapy (SFT): SFT is a future-oriented and goal-directed type of therapy that can help people make desired behavior changes by focusing on solutions instead of problems.
