Inpatient Behavioral Health
About Inpatient Behavioral Health
At Pacific Permanente Group, we recognize the profound impact of mental health on overall well-being. Our comprehensive approach is designed to foster recovery by addressing not just symptoms, but the whole person.
Our behavioral health experts prioritize care and empathy, ensuring patients feel supported and understood throughout treatment. By collaborating closely with other health care providers, we strive to deliver comprehensive care that enhances both mind and mood – integral components of health and wellness.
The services we provide encompass a holistic approach to healing, recognizing that recovery requires a multifaceted approach. Most of our work (psychiatric evaluations, treatment, and medication management) is done in the inpatient setting of the 11-bed acute care unit at Maui Memorial Medical Center.
