- Inpatient care is often recommended when the emotional, psychological and behavioral problems have reached a crisis and the patient needs a safe environment to stabilize. As the crisis is addressed, the team assesses the need for follow-up outpatient care and puts a plan in place to support the patient’s continued recovery. Services include medication management, group therapy and activities, ECT, further consultation, and education.
- ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY (ECT)
- ECT is a safe and effective treatment for some psychiatric disorders. We use it to treat depression, but it is also effective with other mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder. Before a patient receives their first treatment, they will create a treatment plan with their physician team to determine that ECT is the appropriate form of treatment. The total number of treatments needed to successfully treat severe depression will vary based on age, diagnosis, history of the illness, family support and response to treatment. Most people require six to twelve treatments and may notice a difference after two to four depending on the severity of their illness.
- PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY SERVICES
- A psychiatric assessment and evaluation is available to patients receiving care at OhioHealth Emergency Departments.
- INPATIENT CONSULTATION/LIAISON SERVICES
- Physicians may request a psychiatric assessment and evaluation for medical patients with psychiatric complications who are currently receiving inpatient hospital care. A psychiatrist, advance practice nurse or LISW will evaluate the patient, make recommendations for treatment and follow the patient’s course of care until he/she is stabilized.

- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy (TMS)
TMS Therapy uses highly focused magnetic pulses to stimulate the areas of the brain thought to control mood. The theory is that TMS Therapy causes neurons to become active, leading to the release of neurotransmitters to relieve symptoms of depression. Each outpatient treatment involves gentle placement of the magnetic coil against the patient’s head. TMS Therapy utilizes a technology similar to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that has a long-term record of safety.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
The Partial Hospitalization Program is used either as a step down from inpatient care or to help prevent hospitalization for outpatients experiencing more acute symptoms. PHP is structured treatment in a group setting designed to treat adults with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and/or thought disorganization that are affecting their ability to function in multiple areas of their lives. The goal of this program is to stabilize the acute symptoms and help people return to more normal levels of functioning. Patients attend the program five days per week, up to six hours per day. Length of stay varies and is determined by individual needs.
Call (614) 566-4414 to learn more.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
The Intensive Outpatient Program may serve as a step down from inpatient care or PHP, or for outpatients needing more intensive care than office visits. Depression, anxiety, and/or thought disorganization are the symptoms addressed in the group treatment format. The focus is on helping patients better understand their diagnosis, manage symptoms, increase functioning, and prevent relapse. Patients attend three or four days per week for up to four hours per day. Length of stay varies and is determined by individual needs.
- Aftercare Program
OhioHealth Marion General Hospital offers two aftercare programs. Our Wednesday, two hour aftercare group supports those in the community with severe, persistent mental illness by helping them manage symptoms and maintain / increase functioning in the community. Lengths of stay are open ended.
Our Thursday two hour aftercare group focuses primarily on relapse prevention. Patients often attend as a step down from our Partial Hospitalization or Intensive Outpatient Programs. Attendance is limited to a maximum of 12 weeks.
