What to Expect

For over 25 years, University Behavioral Center’s behavioral health services have offered a refuge for individuals seeking help with mental illness and substance use related issues. It can be a very scary decision to commit to getting help, and we are committed to providing the skills and programs patients need to succeed in reaching their treatment goals.

Your experience at University Behavioral Center will focus on a structured day filled with interactive and engaging treatment-related activities, each tailored to your specific needs.

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions. If you have any additional questions, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

What should I expect from the admissions process?

University Behavioral Center is here for you at all hours of the day and night when you truly need help. There will always be someone to greet you at the door and a smile to welcome you in. We offer no-cost, confidential assessments to all. We happily take walk-ins, or feel free to call us and let us know you are coming.

When you enter our hospital, we will ask you to fill out assessment paperwork. From there a qualified mental health professional will meet with you and explain the assessment and admission process, the programs we offer here at University Behavioral Center and also go over your benefits with you and how they fit within our programs. The admissions team will then complete a full psychosocial assessment with you, as well as talk with family members when appropriate to determine the best level of care for your specific needs.

If you need treatment we do not offer, we will provide a list of referrals for you to follow up with at your convenience. The staff will discuss the recommendations for your level of care and escort you to the unit for orientation with a nurse. Patients will be seen by their psychiatrist and an internist within 24 hours of admission.
