Treatment on the General Adult Unit

Length of Stay
The average length of stay on our unit is five to seven days; some individuals need less time to stabilize and return home, and some may need more time. Each course of treatment is highly individualized to the patient so we can ensure they are receiving exactly the kind of care that they need to begin healing while simultaneously staying as safe as possible.
