Dignity Health - St. Joseph's Behavioral Health Center

St. Joseph’s Behavioral Health Center offers structured outpatient programs, including partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient treatment and therapy services. These programs help patients manage mental health conditions while continuing to live at home and maintain daily routines.

Outpatient services are available for adults, adolescents and children who need ongoing mental health support but do not require inpatient care. Treatment plans reflect each person’s needs, symptoms and recovery goals.

The outpatient program treats conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, emotional distress and other psychiatric concerns. Treatment focuses on improving emotional stability, coping skills and daily functioning.

Patients participate in individual and group therapy, skills training and medication management when appropriate. Programs often use evidence-based approaches such as dialectical behavior therapy to help patients manage emotions and improve relationships.
