A Continuum of Expert Care
Inpatient Program
Inpatient care is necessary for individuals whose symptoms are so severe they cannot safely function at a less restrictive level of care. Such symptoms might
include an inability to contract for safety or persistent thoughts of self-harm or harm to others. This level of care ensures safety and encompasses psychological evaluation, medical observation, skilled nursing and nutritional services, and supervision of daily activities and intense behavioral/psychological therapies. Staff members work with each patient to help with the transition to a less-restrictive level of care as soon as clinically indicated.
Partial Hospital Program
The Partial Hospital Program offers a highly structured intervention for individuals who are in crisis but can safely reside in the community. The program is available as either a step-down level of treatment from an inpatient unit or as a direct admission to avoid hospitalization. The partial hospital level of care offers a more intensive psychiatric supervision and treatment than the traditional outpatient setting. McLean SouthEast utilizes a multidisciplinary approach with case management, rehabilitation therapy, structured group programming and psychiatry. Hours are 9 am to 3 pm, Monday through Friday.
Program Staff
McLean SouthEast is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of board-certified psychiatrists, licensed independent clinical social workers, nurses, mental health counselors and a rehabilitation therapist.Insurance
