TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The behavioral health program’s initial assessment is free, and referrals are accepted 24 hours. Although the Baptist Memorial Hospital – Golden Triangle’s webpage does not explicitly reference detoxification, behavioral health patients may be able to receive supportive services during the withdrawal process as part of an inpatient chemical dependency program. During a short inpatient stay, treatment staff focus on stabilization, coping skills, and increased patient responsibility.
Baptist Behavioral Health Care’s intensive outpatient program is an eight-week evening program, and is designed for individuals who have successfully stabilized. The IOP is group-based, but individual and family therapy sessions can be arranged. All clients are expected to follow 12-step concepts and attend Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Loved ones are invited to participate in the recovery process. A minimum of one year of aftercare services are provided without additional cost to clients who have completed the IOP.

Play therapy, medication management, and several specialized groups are available.
