Premier Adult Inpatient Mental Health Treatment Program

The adult inpatient program at Rio Vista Behavioral Health provides comprehensive, personalized care for men and women, age 18 and above, whose lives have been disrupted by one or more mental health, behavioral health, or psychiatric concerns.

Common examples of health concerns that may be addressed within the adult inpatient program include major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, anxiety disorders, and the effects of trauma. We are not able to accept individuals who are struggling with autism, dementia, or eating disorders.
