Customize Your Treatment Plan at Our Stillwater Inpatient Program

When you first connect with a friendly member of our AMFM Mental Health Treatment admissions team, you’ll be guided through a clinical assessment, which will help our team better understand your needs. Additionally, this initial assessment will give our team all of the information we need to build a personalized treatment plan for your stay at our Stillwater facility, as well as to place you in the appropriate level of care. 

Clients at our Stillwater residential facility for mental health engage in at least three clinical groups per day, plus individual therapy sessions, yoga, one-on-one psychiatry appointments, and consultations with case managers. Each component of your treatment plan is designed to ensure your stay with AMFM Mental Health Treatment meets your needs. At this inpatient program for mental health, specialized focus groups include creative writing, Food as Medicine, and narrative therapy.

Inpatient treatment, or residential programming for mental health, provides live-in care, where clients stay in one of our mental health facilities, receiving 24/7 compassionate clinical attention. At this level of care, which is particularly helpful for those struggling with severe symptoms of mental health conditions, clients attend daily clinical groups, with meals provided by a dedicated chef, and comfortable living arrangements. 

In addition to specialized focus groups, individual therapy sessions, psychiatric support, and an in-home gym, clients at our Stillwater facility also spend leisure time exploring the local area. If clients are interested in additional support after completing their residential program for mental health, they may step down to another level of care, at another location, such as an intensive outpatient program (IOP) or a partial hospitalization program (PHP).

Our team of licensed professionals offers a wide variety of mental health services. We know that mental health recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, so our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based therapies to provide the treatment approach that works best for your needs.
