At thebootdoctor.net, we understand that focusing on your well-being means caring for both your physical and mental health. While you are with us, we prioritize your healing journey by attending to the details, allowing you to concentrate on recovery. Our dedicated team of Behavioral Health Doctors and professionals are committed to providing comprehensive amenities and services to support you throughout your treatment.
Nourishment and Support During Your Program
Whether you are an inpatient or participating in our day program, we ensure your nutritional needs are met. Inpatients receive three nutritious meals daily, along with snacks to keep you energized throughout the day. For those attending our day program, we provide lunch and snacks as part of your program. We believe that proper nutrition is a vital component of mental and behavioral health recovery.
Educational Assistance for Adolescents
Recognizing the importance of continued learning, our partial hospitalization program for adolescents includes educational support. We provide resources to help students keep up with their schoolwork while undergoing treatment. This support system helps to minimize disruption to their academic progress and reduces stress associated with falling behind in their studies, contributing positively to their overall behavioral health outcomes.
Spiritual Wellness Resources
Acknowledging the significance of spiritual well-being for many individuals, we offer spiritual care services for inpatients. Patients are welcome to receive visits from a spiritual leader of their faith. This service provides an additional layer of support, respecting diverse beliefs and aiding in holistic healing.
Your First Steps in Outpatient Therapy and Medication Management
If you are seeking outpatient therapy or medication management, your first step is to schedule an appointment with one of our therapists. Our intake team is available to guide you to the behavioral health provider best suited to address your specific mental health concerns. We have a diverse team of behavioral health doctors who are qualified to prescribe and manage medication as part of your comprehensive treatment plan. Our therapists are available to see patients from 7:30 am to 6 pm, offering both convenient in-office and telemedicine appointments to fit your schedule and preferences.
Navigating Walk-In Urgent Care for Behavioral Health Needs
For immediate behavioral health concerns, our walk-in urgent care service provides timely access to evaluation and support. Upon arrival, our front desk care team will greet you and assist with the registration process, including a brief behavioral health screening. We will check your vital signs and gather any necessary health information to ensure you receive the most appropriate care. Following registration, you will receive a thorough mental health evaluation conducted by one of our experienced Mental Health Clinicians or Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners. Based on your individual needs, they will determine the best course of action. For patients experiencing a crisis, posing a danger to themselves or others, or who are medically unstable, we ensure a direct referral to the emergency department for immediate and intensive care. Furthermore, for individuals facing temporary gaps in medication management due to the unavailability of their regular provider or lacking a provider, we can offer assistance to ensure continuity of care. For those requiring ongoing behavioral health services, we facilitate referrals to our Lanham Behavioral Health Clinic or connect you with appropriate community partners to ensure you receive sustained support and treatment tailored to your needs.
Partial Hospitalization Program: A Step-Down Approach
Our psychiatric day program, also known as a partial hospitalization program, offers a therapeutic environment that mirrors many aspects of our inpatient program, with the added benefit of returning home each evening. This program serves as an effective step-down transition for individuals discharged from inpatient care, allowing for continued progress in a supportive setting. Adults participate in daily sessions from 9 am to 3:30 pm, while adolescents attend from 8 am to 2:30 pm. Both programs utilize similar therapeutic approaches as our inpatient units, ensuring a consistent and effective treatment experience. Our behavioral health doctors develop a personalized treatment plan for each participant, and the duration of the program is tailored to individual needs. Whenever possible, we encourage the involvement of family members and support systems in the treatment and healing process, recognizing the crucial role they play in long-term recovery and well-being.
