The LHDCMC Behavioral Health Pavilion is in a newly renovated building on our Lanham campus. A brand-new program, the center offers Prince George's County residents access to high-quality mental health and substance use services. The 31,000-square-foot center includes: Outpatient therapy and medication management. Walk-in urgent care for non-life-threatening behavioral health issues. A partial hospitalization program (a psychiatric day program). A 16-bed inpatient psychiatric unit. Prevention programs and family support services. Because of longstanding behavioral health disparities, Prince George's County residents have had a harder time getting care for mental health and substance abuse issues. This new center aims to change that. Most of the staff and practitioners live right here in the community. We understand the strengths, needs, fears, frustrations, and hopes of people in our community. Plus, having all behavioral health services together allows us to serve more people in one place for various overlapping issues., The LHDCMC Behavioral Health Center is located on the campus of Doctors Community Medical Center, just outside of the Emergency Department. All services are housed in one building. Parking information Patients coming for outpatient or urgent care can park in the garage or parking lot adjacent to the building near the Emergency Department., We offer various levels of care, and each program works differently. Please note: If you are having a mental health crisis, you can dial 988 (or 911). The Emergency Department at LHDCMC provides emergency psychiatric services. Outpatient therapy and medication management We offer office-based therapy services and medication management for adults and adolescents 13 years and older. We are currently scheduling appointments with therapists. Call 301-623-4350 to schedule. Walk-in urgent care for behavioral health We offer walk-in urgent care services for people needing non-emergency, non-life-threatening behavioral health care. This service is unique in the county. It's open 8 am to 5:30 pm, Monday-Friday, for adults and children 4 years and older. We can evaluate and help connect you to resources (including therapy and medication). Partial hospitalization program This intensive daytime treatment program offers mental health services for adults and teens age 13 and older. Adults attend daily sessions from 9 am until 3:30 pm and return home at night. The adolescent program runs from 8 am to 2:30 pm. The program is halfway between inpatient and outpatient care. It's designed to help those moving from 24/7 inpatient care or those who need to stabilize a condition to prevent a hospital stay. LHDCMC Psychiatric Day Hospital Lanham Referral Form A referral is needed before enrollment, using this referral form . Residential Substance Use Disorder program This program will be available in Summer 2023. This residential substance use disorder program can house eight adults at a time, and the average length of stay is 20-30 days. It's a residential program where individuals learn the skills needed for recovery and relapse prevention. The program is counseling and group based. Medical services are limited, so patients served are required to be medically stable, and need to bring prescribed medications. Inpatient behavioral health The inpatient mental health unit is an acute hospital. It provides short-term psychiatric treatment for people 18 and older who meet admission criteria. Patients are admitted voluntarily and involuntarily based on psychiatric assessment and referral from a hospital's emergency department. The inpatient behavioral health program is not an emergency service, and we cannot receive walk-in patients., Amenities & Services We keep both your body and brain nourished while you're here. We take care of as many details as possible so you can focus on healing. Meals for inpatients and day program We provide three meals a day, plus snacks, for inpatients. We provide lunch and snacks for those who come to the day program. Educational support For adolescents in our partial hospitalization program, we offer support with schoolwork, to help students keep up with their studies during treatment. Spiritual care Inpatients can have visits from a spiritual leader associated with their faith. What to expect when visiting for outpatient therapy or medication management Patients coming for office-based therapy will first schedule an appointment with a therapist. We can help direct you to the right provider based on the mental health issues you're experiencing. We have behavioral health providers who can prescribe and manage medication. Therapists see patients from 7:30 am to 6 pm. We have both in-office and telemedicine appointments available. What to expect when you come for walk-in urgent care Our front desk care team will greet patients and assist with registration and completion of a behavioral health screening. We will get health vitals and any additional health care information needed for the visit. Patients will receive a mental health evaluation by a Mental Health Clinician or Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner based on the patients' needs. Patients in crisis (danger to themselves or others) or medically unstable will be referred to the emergency department. We can also help with medication management for people who currently don't have a provider or whose provider is temporarily unavailable. Patients needing ongoing services will be referred to the Lanham Behavioral Health Clinic or a community partner based on need. What to expect if you're attending the partial hospitalization program The psychiatric day program features many of the same types of therapy as the inpatient program, but patients go home at night. If you've been discharged from the inpatient unit, it's an excellent step-down approach. Adults attend daily sessions from 9 am until 3:30 pm and return home at night. Adolescents attend daily sessions from 8 am to 2:30 pm and return home after. We use many of the same therapeutic approaches as experienced in psychiatric inpatient units. Patients discharged from our inpatient unit can continue with their personal behavioral health work. We create a tailored treatment plan for each person. How long they stay depends on their unique needs. Whenever possible, we invite family members and support systems to take part in the treatment and healing process., Our admission processes A phone call is all we require to start the treatment process. While this program is for those trying to overcome substance use disorders, we also treat related mental health needs for patients in the residential program. Treatment options and length of stay depend on each person's unique needs and preferences. We do everything we can to help you or your loved one get treatment as quickly as possible. Here's a step-by-step guide to joining one of our treatment programs. Step 1: Schedule an intake assessment. Call 301-623-4350. Please be ready to give insurance information, substance use history, a list of current medications, and medical/mental health history. The patient should be present for the call to make a speedy intake possible. Step 2: Prepare at home. We aim to admit people into the addiction program on the same day as their assessment. We suggest bringing one carry-on-sized bag of clothing and necessities to the appointment, as well as a completed pre-registration form. (See below for what to bring with you.) Excess belongings will be safely stored until discharge. Step 3: Come in for your intake assessment. Your assessment with a nurse and a health counselor will last about two hours. The counselor will also meet with your family if they are with you. Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to prepare. What to bring Be sure to come to your assessment prepared to stay, as we enroll most people directly after. Please know we do need to search your bags when you arrive and before you receive them once admitted. DO bring: Overnight bag with five to seven changes of comfortable clothing. Pair of sneakers. All prescription medications. Clear gel deodorant/antiperspirant in a clear container. We will provide you with all other toiletries (i.e., shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and razors).

We work with you to develop your custom treatment plan, which will include the following: Nursing visits as needed Medication oversight (bring all medications with you) Individual case management and counseling Group counseling Addiction and recovery education 12-step group meetings Family education Spirituality groups Aftercare planning Nutrition education The typical day Each day, you'll receive a schedule of your activities for the day.
