Inpatient Mental Health Programs at Ramsay Mental Health

Inpatient care is a type of treatment where individuals stay at a dedicated mental health facility to receive intensive support. This level of care is typically recommended for those who require around-the-clock attention due to needing a higher-risk medication change or managing an exacerbation of their mental health condition. At Ramsay Mental Health, we provide comprehensive inpatient programs that address a wide range of mental health needs, ensuring that every patient receives the care and support required for their recovery.

Our inpatient programs are designed to support individuals dealing with conditions such as:

• Anxiety and mood disorders (e.g. depression, bipolar disorder)
• Substance misuse and addiction
• Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma
• Borderline personality disorder (BPD)
• Psychosis
• Youth and young person’s mental health needs

Holistic Inpatient Care Tailored to Your Needs

At Ramsay Mental Health, our inpatient care is built around a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and allied health professionals. Each patient’s treatment plan is personalised to meet their specific needs, ensuring the best evidence-based psychiatric and psychological care is provided.

Key features of our inpatient program include:

• Personalised Care Plans: Tailored treatment focusing on the individual’s unique mental health needs and recovery goals.
• Multidisciplinary Support: A collaborative approach integrating mental health professionals across specialties for comprehensive care.
• Physical Wellbeing: Access to a clinic gym, nutritional support, and health monitoring to maintain physical wellbeing alongside mental health recovery.
• Group Therapy and Support: Therapeutic group sessions to address core issues, develop coping strategies, and foster a sense of community.

Neurostimulation, Medication-Assisted Psychotherapy & Interventional Psychiatric Treatments

When other therapies have not been effective, at select clinics, we offer advanced treatment options for severe mental health conditions. This service offers an additional option for patients who require advanced care options. A detailed assessment will determine if a referral for these specialised services is the right path forward.

Age-Specific and Gender-Sensitive Care

At Ramsay Mental Health, we recognise that individuals’ mental health needs can vary across the lifespan and based on gender. We have several specialised inpatient services across Australia providing tailored care to meet these unique needs including:

• Youth and Young Adults (ages 14-25): Programs specifically designed to address the challenges faced by younger individuals, such as peer pressure, self-esteem, and emotional regulation. These programs ensure a supportive environment where young people can focus on developing coping strategies for lasting mental health.
• Seniors (ages 65+): Older adults can experience unique mental health challenges such as cognitive decline, and grief that may impact their experience of depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions. Our inpatient programs for seniors offer specialised care that supports both mental and physical health needs, ensuring a holistic approach to recovery.
• Women-Only Mental Health Programs: At Ramsay Clinic Thirroul, we offer women-only inpatient care to address their mental health concerns in the context of the unique challenges women face that can affect their emotional wellbeing, such as gender-based trauma, societal pressures, and hormonal changes. This approach provides a safe and supportive environment for women to recover and heal within a community of other women.

These age-specific and gender-sensitive programs ensure that patients can receive the most appropriate care for their stage of life or gender. While our general inpatient services cater to the broader adult population, we ensure we treat each patient as an individual providing personalised care and treatment to everyone.

Is an Inpatient Program Right for Me or My Loved One?

An inpatient program may be necessary for individuals who require intensive support for more serious or complex mental health conditions. If your loved one is experiencing severe mental health challenges, such as substance misuse, eating disorders, PTSD, psychosis, or other critical conditions, they may benefit from inpatient care.

Typically, a referral from your GP, psychologist, or psychiatrist is required to begin an inpatient stay at Ramsay Mental Health. Our team is here to guide you through the process and ensure the best treatment approach for your needs.
