Comprehensive Care with Dignity and Respect Covington Behavioral Health Hospital is a 104-bed treatment center in Covington, Louisiana, where adults and adolescents can receive comprehensive care for a wide range of mental health disorders. Care at Covington is provided at two levels: inpatient treatment and intensive outpatient programming (IOP). Covington’s inpatient program is designed to be a short-term treatment experience for individuals who need acute psychiatric care. Typical length of stay in the inpatient program is seven to 10 days. Less intensive longer-term care, which is often optimal for those who need step-down support following their inpatient experience, is available via IOP. Typical length of stay in IOP rages from four to 12 weeks. Individuals whose mental health issues are accompanied by chemical dependency, and who have been incapable of ending their substance abuse prior to starting treatment, may also complete detox at Covington before transitioning into residential treatment. Treatment techniques and therapeutic modalities that are incorporated into treatment at Covington include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), crisis intervention therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Each person who heals at Covington Behavioral Health will follow a personalized treatment plan that is based upon a thorough assessment of his or her needs. Depending upon those needs, an individual’s experience at Covington may involve working with psychiatrists, medical psychologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers, counselors, activity therapists, and mental health technicians. Covington Behavioral Health Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission and accepts most major insurance plans. For more information, visit www.covingtonbh.com or call (985) 893-2970.
