State Designated Short Term Care Facility (STCF)
Opened in 2005, the Short Term Care Facility (STCF)
was part of a state-of-the-art, 25,000 square foot addition to our existing
facility. It is a 21-bed, adult, acute
care psychiatric unit designated by the State of New Jersey’s Division of
Mental Health and Addiction Services as a specialized setting in which persons
with acute psychiatric or dual disorders are treated with compassion and
dignity when they meet the State standard for involuntary hospitalization. Every effort is made to stabilize the
patient’s condition and to return him/her to community support as soon as
possible. Similar to our voluntary
treatment programs, services are provided by a multidisciplinary team of highly
qualified professionals who seek to optimize treatment outcomes through evidence-based
practice with a focus on patient dignity, compassion and recovery.
