- Inpatient stays are typically short term, usually less than one week.
- Treatment plans include but not limited to medication management and group therapy.
- DCP is a non-smoking facility. Patients are not allowed to leave the unit for smoking breaks. If needed, patients may discuss smoking cessation options with their physician.
- Once admitted, we have a legal obligation to provide a certain level of care. If you or a guardian requests discharge, medical staff have 24 hours to assess the patient’s stability. Indiana law requires a plan for alternative treatment, and staff must determine the patient is not at imminent risk of harm to self or others.
