Before Arriving

Youth are medically cleared by local Emergency Departments before admission to the proper unit at OPH. Shortly after arrival, the following assessments are conducted: Intake, Psychiatric Evaluation, Nursing, Biopsychosocial, Activity, and Education. A thorough history & physical is completed by a physician or nurse practitioner following admission.
