Inpatient Service: Based on our policy to provide the most effective and cost-efficient treatment within the least restrictive environment, the IP Service provides acute hospitalization for those patients who have been fully assessed and require intensive treatment to become safely stabilized. Comprehensive discharge planing ensures appropriate and coordinated linkage to aftercare services. Treatment includes medication; individual, group, couples, family and milieu therapy; substance abuse treatment and acupuncture. ECT is also available at Jacobi. Activity therapy with a vocational and psychoeducational focus is also provided. Treatment focus is cognitive-behavioral, pragmatic and problem solving and solution-oriented. Staff includes: psychiatirists, psycologists, nurses, social workers and activity therapists. Treatment teams are multidisciplinary with focus on evaluating and treating presenting problems by the briefest and most effective means. Special Needs Programs: Latino American-Cross Cultural Unit (LACCU) for Spanish speaking patients and their families. Acute Crisis Intervention Unit for patients needing brief, focused short-term "crisis" individual and family therapy
