Wexford Health’s mental health programs comply with all applicable industry standards. We provide all patients with a mental health screening/assessment as part of our receiving process. Patients with a positive mental health screening/assessment receive further evaluation by a licensed qualified mental health professional, along with appropriate care and treatment.

In addition, our mental health program includes the following vital components.

• A 24/7 crisis intervention and management program, provided through onsite and on- call coverage, to identify those offenders in need of critical mental health and psychiatry services
• A suicide prevention program that identifies at-risk patients; minimizes the likelihood of suicide attempts and other critical incidents and provides interventions; and trains staff to recognize warning signs and react quickly and effectively
• Individual psychotherapy in the modality that best suits each patient’s needs; Our psychotherapists are trained in methodologies including behavioral, cognitive, cognitive- behavioral, and dialectic therapies
• Group therapy and psychoeducational programs, tailored to the specific needs of patients at crisis level, in segregation, at the transition/reintegration level, and for the general outpatient mental health setting
