County Department of Mental Health's goal is to provide effective, accessible, and culturally competent services to the residents of the County. As part of these services the County operates the Psychiatric Center, a Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) that provides inpatient services. Inpatient Services provide treatment for individuals who need brief hospitalization as a result of a crisis or emergency. Hospital treatment will address acute symptoms in order to assist the individual to return to the previous level of functioning.
