Mission

LINDNER CENTER OF HOPE (LCOH) IS A MENTAL HEALTH CENTER STAFFED BY A DIVERSE TEAM, UNITED IN THE PHILOSOPHY THAT BY WORKING TOGETHER, WE CAN BEST OFFER HOPE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. THE PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE AT THE CENTER OF OUR TREATMENT, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH. LCOH OFFERS COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES INCLUDING INPATIENT, RESIDENTIAL AND OUTPATIENT SERVICES. LCOH HAS 32 INPATIENT BEDS, 28 RESIDENTIAL BEDS AND PROVIDES A RANGE OF OUTPATIENT SERVICES INCLUDING OFFICE VISITS, TELEHEALTH VISITS, PHP, IOP, ECT, ESKETAMINE AND TMS.

Program accomplishments

• ACUTE INPATIENT CARE: FOR ADULT PATIENTS NEEDING THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CARE AND CRISIS INTERVENTION DELIVERED WITH COMPASSION AND RESPECT, LINDNER CENTER OF HOPE (LCOH) HAS 32 PRIVATE ROOMS DIVIDED INTO TWO 16-ROOM UNITS FOR ACUTE HOSPITAL STAYS. AFTER A COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION IS COMPLETED TO GAIN A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF EACH PATIENT, INPATIENT TREATMENT FOCUSES ON QUICKLY RESOLVING SERIOUS AND LIFE-THREATENING SYMPTOMS. ADULT PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION: THE ADULT PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM KEEPS PATIENTS, WHO MEET PROGRAM CRITERIA, OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, WHILE PROVIDING INTENSIVE TREATMENT IN A SAFE SETTING. LCOH IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE FULL SPECTRUM OF CARE FOR CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND ADULTS SUFFERING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL'S DAILY FUNCTIONING IS IMPAIRED BY MENTAL ILLNESS, YET CRITERIA ARE NOT MET FOR HOSPITALIZATION, THE ADOLESCENT AND ADULT PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAMS (PHP) PROVIDE INTENSIVE TREATMENT IN A SAFE AND THERAPEUTIC ENVIRONMENT, WITHOUT FULL HOSPITALIZATION. PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION HELPS PATIENTS PROGRESS TO THE POINT WHERE STANDARD OUTPATIENT APPOINTMENTS CAN BE EFFECTIVE. THESE PROGRAMS ARE ALSO USED AS A STEP-DOWN PROGRAM FROM HOSPITALIZATION, WITH THE INTENT OF GRADUALLY EASING A PATIENT BACK INTO THEIR HOME ENVIRONMENT. THE PROGRAM OPERATES MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 8:30 A.M. TO 3:30 P.M. EXCEPT FOR EATING DISORDER PATIENTS WHO ATTEND UNTIL 6:00 P.M., AND ENROLLEES ATTEND 5 DAYS PER WEEK FOR UP TO 4 WEEKS. THE PROGRAM OFFERS SOME FLEXIBILITY IN DESIGN, SO THAT THE PHP TREATMENT TEAM AND THE ENROLLEE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE THE RIGHT TREATMENT PLAN FOR EVERYONE. TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION THERAPY: MAJOR DEPRESSION IS A DEBILITATING BRAIN DISORDER THAT AFFECTS ONE IN 10 ADULTS. IT IS CAUSED BY AN IMBALANCE OF CHEMICALS IN THE BRAIN THAT RESULT IN A PERSISTENT STATE OF SADNESS AND LOSS OF INTEREST IN OR PLEASURE FROM NORMAL ACTIVITIES. INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE TRIED MEDICATIONS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY TO RELIEVE THEIR SYMPTOMS WITH LITTLE OR NO SUCCESS, OFTEN GIVE UP HOPE. THE INNOVATION OF TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION (TMS) CAN IMPROVE SYMPTOMS AND GIVE HOPE TO THOSE STRUGGLING TO LIVE THEIR LIVES. NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS EXPERTS IN THE TREATMENT OF DEPRESSION, LCOH PSYCHIATRISTS OFFER TMS AS AN INNOVATIVE TREATMENT MODALITY THAT DELIVERS POSITIVE RESULTS TO PATIENTS COPING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. TMS IS A NON-SYSTEMIC AND NON-INVASIVE TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION THAT RECEIVED THE PRESTIGIOUS POPULAR SCIENCE AWARD BEST OF WHAT'S NEW IN 2009. ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY (ECT) IS A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OPTION FOR CERTAIN MENTAL ILLNESSES AND IS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR TREATMENT OF CERTAIN PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS, CAUSING CHANGES IN BRAIN CHEMISTRY THAT CAN IMMEDIATELY REVERSE SYMPTOMS. AS ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST WIDELY USED MENTAL HEALTH PROCEDURES, OFTEN, ECT WORKS WHEN OTHER TREATMENTS ARE UNSUCCESSFUL. ECT IS AN EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE FORM OF TREATMENT, OFTEN SAFER AND MORE EFFECTIVE THAN MEDICATIONS OR NO TREATMENT AT ALL. LCOH IS THE LEADING PROVIDER OF ECT IN THE AREA. THE CENTER'S ECT EXPERT PROVIDERS AND A CARING STAFF PERFORM THE PROCEDURE IN THE STATE-OF-THE-ART FARMER FAMILY NEUROMODULATION CENTER WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT. TREATMENT APPOINTMENTS CAN BE SCHEDULED MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, AND FRIDAY, 7:00 A.M. TO 1:00 P.M., WITH NEW PATIENTS STARTING THE PROCESS THROUGH INTAKE OR WHILE IN OUR HOSPITAL. LCOH WOMEN'S MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM: SOME MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS ARE UNIQUE TO WOMEN, ESPECIALLY AS THEY RELATE TO A WOMAN'S REPRODUCTIVE LIFE CYCLE. THIS CYCLE IS NATURALLY FILLED WITH HIGHS AND LOWS THAT ARE LINKED TO PHYSICAL CHANGES, HORMONAL FLUCTUATIONS, LIFE-ALTERING EVENTS - OFTEN EQUALLY JOYOUS, SAD, AND STRESSFUL. SOMETIMES IT CAN BE HARD TO KNOW WHEN A MOOD OR BEHAVIOR IS MORE THAN A NORMAL REACTION TO PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGE OR STRESS. THE WOMEN'S MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM AT LCOH STRIVES TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE WOMEN'S MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING ACROSS THE REPRODUCTIVE LIFECYCLE. SPECIALISTS ARE AVAILABLE TO HELP INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR CLINICIANS BY PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS, CONSULTATIONS, MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, AND PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES. RESIDENTIAL SERVICES: FOR PATIENTS SEEKING CARE BEYOND THE HOSPITAL SETTING AND THE LIMITS IMPOSED BY THIRD PARTY PAYERS, LCOH OFFERS ASSESSMENTS AND COMPREHENSIVE CARE FOR ADULTS AGE 18 YEARS AND OLDER (SIBCY HOUSE) AND FOR ADULTS AGE 18 AND OLDER NEEDING STABILIZATION AND CARE PLANS (WILLIAMS HOUSE) IN A SHORT TERM RESIDENTIAL SETTING. SIBCY HOUSE IS A 16-ROOM, PRIVATE-PAY, RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM THAT OFFERS A PREMIERE DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT ENVIRONMENT NOT FOUND IN TRADITIONAL HOSPITALS OR TREATMENT CENTERS. PATIENTS BENEFIT FROM AN EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT FOLLOWED BY EXTENDED STAYS TO INITIATE THEIR INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT PLAN.

THE THIRD COMPONENT WORKS TO PREPARE THE PATIENT FOR THE NEXT LEVEL OF CARE, WHETHER WITHIN THE WILLIAMS HOUSE OR WITH ANOTHER PROVIDER. INDIVIDUAL THERAPY, GROUPS AND CLINICAL SKILLS BUILDING, WITHIN THE DBT AND CBT STRUCTURED MILIEU, OCCURS DURING THE ENTIRE VISIT BUT BECOMES MORE OF THE FOCUS AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP IS COMPLETE.
