About Behavioral Care
Everybody has days when they feel 'blue,' anxious, unfocused or just plain stressed out. For most people, those feelings go away after a short period of time. However, when such feelings persist to the point that they interfere with day-to-day life, it's time to consider professional help.
If you or someone you care about answers yes to any of the following questions, behavioral health services may help you to regain your enjoyment of life:
- Are you no longer able to perform basic day-to-day functions?
- Have you lost interest in your appearance?
- Do you have difficulty meeting basic job or school expectations?
- Are you experiencing a failure to derive satisfaction from relationships with those closest to you?

Our Access Center is the starting point for learning more about the wide range of treatment services offered by The IU Health Behavioral Care Center. The center is open 24 hours a day and is a comprehensive resource that offers the following services:
- Information about treatment options
- Assessment of problems in children through geriatrics
- Referral to behavioral care professionals
- Access to all levels of care within the continuum of services
- Admission to inpatient services when needed
Whether patients come to us through a referral from a medical professional, at the urging of a loved one or on their own, we make it easy to start the process of feeling better. When a patient arrives at the access center, an initial assessment by a trained behavioral care clinician is done to resolve the immediate crisis and to identify the type of resources needed for long-term improvement.
A treatment plan customized to each patient's individual needs is then created to identify the appropriate level of care or service and to detail the recommended course of treatment. From the access center, patients can easily and comfortably enter the treatment process.
From initial assessment to patient discharge, our goal is to ensure that each person receives appropriate care at the least restrictive treatment level. We closely manage each person's treatment to be care-effective and cost-effective.
