Programs North Harbor provides comprehensive inpatient psychiatric care for adults suffering from a range of mental illness, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder & schizophrenia. Separate units are provided for psychiatric intensive care, general adult psychiatric care, high risk patients & geriatric patients with special needs. Adult Psychiatry Our professional staff is dedicated to providing therapeutic interactions with a structured program, including process and educational groups, recreational therapy, individual therapy and assistance with discharge planning needs. North Harbor's staff created a "Being Well" workbook that is given to patients at orientation. This workbook is designed to encourage self-responsibility and education, with a focus on crisis intervention. Geriatric Services Senior adults sometimes experience mental impairments unique to the elderly. North Harbor provides these patients with a comfortable and caring environment, with recreational therapy designed to meet the needs of elderly patients. Psychiatric Intensive Care North Harbor's psychiatric intensive care unit is for individuals suffering from more severe mental impairments, such as suicidal thoughts, psychosis or mood instability. Patients in our intensive care unit require intensive staff supervision and continuous observation. High Risk Unit North Harbor's High Risk Unit is a specialized unit designed for patients considered at higher risk for harm to self or others. Patient safety is a priority, and our high-risk patients are under constant observation by our staff, and the unit is continuously assessed to be free of any harmful objects. Patients will have a structured schedule of groups and activities in a calm, non-threatening environment. Observation and Assessment North Harbor's staff assesses psychiatric patients that present to the Emergency Department at Northport Medical Center, once they have been medically cleared. Patients are given a thorough evaluation by qualified staff to determine their need for inpatient admission, 23-hour observation or discharge with outpatient follow-up. Continuing Care After Discharge Along with a dedication to the highest quality inpatient care, the staff at North Harbor strongly feels that our patients also need the on-going assistance of mental health professionals once they are discharged. We work closely with outpatient community resources to establish appropriate levels of continuing care based on each individual patient's needs. Post-discharge care can range from follow-up appointments with an identified psychiatrist or mental health center, to home health services or specialized care programs.
