Often, this includes caring for individuals with a significant and detectable physical or behavioral health disease burden, and frequently ill-health yet unknown. Chronic and acute patient conditions require a measured, standardized process of early review that detects and treats disease states to include serious mental illness, traumatic brain injuries, intellectual deficits, aging, withdrawal management, diabetes, TB, HIV, etc. Psychological intervention techniques are utilized to address the acute needs of these patients with behavioral health issues. Through careful coordinated communications between medical, behavioral health and security, staff ensure a safe environment for all those who enter “through the front door”.
