When someone is struggling with a mental health concern, making the decision to get care is a crucial step. At Orlando Health Behavioral Health Hospital in Apopka, Florida, we recognize that taking this step can be intimidating, so we strive to make the admissions process as simple and streamlined as possible.
Admissions Criteria
Admissions Criteria
All decisions for admissions to our Apopka behavioral health hospital are made on a case-by-case basis.
We provide care for children and adolescents ages 5-17, adults, and senior adults. All care is provided on age-specific units, and the unit a person stays on is assigned at the time of their admission.
Our programming is specifically designed for people who are struggling with mental health concerns, including:
- Depression
- Bipolar disorder
- Anxiety
- Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Schizoaffective disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Suicidal ideation
- Co-occurring addictions
Exclusionary Criteria
Our specialized inpatient programs are tailored for individuals who are solely in need of mental healthcare. For that reason, we are unable to provide care for people who have a primary diagnosis of one or more of the following:
- Medical disorders
- Neurological disorders
- Substance use disorders
If a patient is struggling with an addiction in addition to a primary mental health concern, we are able to offer the necessary interventions to meet their needs.
Admissions Process
Admissions to our Apopka, Florida, hospital begin with a thorough assessment. Our team uses these assessments to gather information about each patient so that we can determine whether the type and level of care we offer will best meet their needs. These assessments cover a variety of background information, including:
- Previous psychiatric treatment
- Current presenting symptoms
- Medical history
- Social history
- Family history of psychiatric concerns
The results of these assessments determine whether a person meets criteria for admission and are used to create an individualized plan of care for the patient if they are admitted to our hospital.
Beginning the Process
Once we begin accepting patients, you can contact our hospital at any time to start the admissions process or to ask any questions you may have about our hospital, the services we offer, and payment options.
