Ensure You Choose a Quality Mental Health Program

Making a list of requirements for the right inpatient depression treatment program is a critical first step toward stabilization and recovery. It’s important to find a program that meets your or a loved one’s specific needs, and offers safe, evidence-based treatment. 

Here’s a list of the first things you should look for when choosing a mental health program:

  • Proper licensing & accreditations 
  • Experienced & credentialed staff
  • 24/7 clinical supervision
  • Thorough assessments & custom treatment plans
  • Comfortable & safe environment
  • Positive reviews
  • Family involvement opportunities
  • Crisis management protocols
  • Aftercare planning & support

STEP 2:

Narrow Down Your Choices

Once you’ve confirmed that the programs you’re interested in offer quality care and facilities, the next step is to make sure it’s the right fit for you or your loved one. 

Some things to consider might be:

    • Is it in the location I want?: Decide whether you prefer a facility close to home for family involvement or farther away for privacy and a fresh start. Consider the convenience of transportation options.
  • Do I want a luxury experience?: Many people opt for more upscale facilities because they’re more comfortable, safe, and see fewer patients at once, promoting a sense of overall wellbeing. Insurance will cover these programs, so it’s a popular option. However for some, cost may be a consideration. 
    • Does the program specialize in my needs?: Look for centers that specialize in treating your specific mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or eating disorders. If you have co-occurring conditions (e.g., substance use disorder), prioritize dual-diagnosis programs.
  • Do I want holistic programs?: Many people going through mental health recovery benefit from supplemental holistic programs like yoga, breathwork, and reiki. You may prefer a program that offers these supportive therapies.

STEP 3:

Look for Red Flags

While there are many excellent depression treatment programs out there, there are unfortunately some not-so-great ones as well. Make sure you do your due diligence to cross off any programs from your list that have any red flags.

If you find any of these issues with a program, it’s a good idea to avoid them:

  • Programs that promise “quick fixes” or unproven methods
  • Lack of proper accreditations
  • Facilities that lack proper medical or psychiatric supervision
  • A lack of transparency about costs or treatment methods
  • High-pressure enrollment tactics or exploitative practices
  • Poor or nonexistent aftercare planning
  • Outdated or non-evidence-based practices
  • Unclean or unsafe environment
  • Negative reviews or a bad reputation
