Navos

Navos operates a 70 bed inpatient facility that cares for adults, 18 and over, with mental illness who are experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis requiring stabilization. Navos serves those who are involuntarily committed because they are deemed to be an imminent danger or harm to themselves or others or are gravely disabled due to a mental illness. Navos offers a structured environment of individual patient evaluation, treatment and discharge planning,as well as psychiatric and stabilization services. Navos provides inpatient therapies, including individual and group therapy, psycho-education, med-education, art therapy, skills based therapies, and cognitive therapies. Navos has a multi-disciplinary team providing services including psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse -see schedule o-practitioners, primary care practitioners, registered nurses, mental health specialists, social workers, mental health therapists, peer professionals, and a recreation therapist and substance use disorder professional. These team members work collaboratively with the patient to develop treatmentplans and goals, assess progress, and discharge planning.

Navos has developed and operates residential programs forchildren, adults and older adults because treatment of people withsevere and persistent mental illness is ineffective without safeand secure housing.
