The HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley’s Mental Health Services at Benedictine Hospital offers evaluation and treatment of a wide range of psychiatric disorders through inpatient, partial hospitalization, or psychiatric emergency services.
Our team of board certified psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitoiners, nurses, activity, art therapist and occupational therapists, and social workers are compassionate professionals who are committed to helping you improve your emotional health, whether you need short term care or ongoing outpatient services.
Inpatient Hospitalization
Comprised of a dedicated group of professionals — a board-certified medical director, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, nurses, activity and occupational therapist staff, and social workers — the inpatient psychiatric unit operates in a team focused, patient centered environment where a forward looking approach to behavioral health is combined with compassionate and expert care.
The 21-bed inpatient Acute Care Unit, located on the second floor of the Benedictine Hospital’s SMC Building, provides intensive psychiatric inpatient care and treatment, along with occupational, group therapy, arts, and activities to patients in need of these services.
The 19-bed Progressive Care Unit, located on the second floor of the Hospital’s South Building, provides psychiatric inpatient care and treatment to patients who require a more open environment and anticipated discharge.
Adult and Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Programs
Benedictine Hospital’s partial hospitalization provides psychiatric services for clients who require intensive treatment but can function more readily outside a twenty-four hour a day inpatient program. The program provides short-term treatment for clients to either avoid or shorten an inpatient stay. It is comprised of a multidisciplinary team including a nurse, social workers, activity therapist, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and a board-certified psychiatrist. The main modality of treatment is group therapy focusing on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. We also offer alternative modalities such as movement therapy, auricular acupuncture, and pet therapy. The program operates Monday through Friday during the day time hours, but program staff is available on call for clients outside regular hours. To request a referral form for the Adolescent PHP call (845) 334-3110 and for the Adult PHP call (845) 334-3120.
Psychiatric Emergency Services
Psychiatric Emergency Services, located on the Kingston Hospital Campus, provides 24 hours a day / seven days a week emergency psychiatric care. An assessment is conducted by a mental health evaluator and a board certified psychiatrist determines the appropriate service to meet the needs of the patient.
