What Does Adult Inpatient Treatment Include?
Your treatment plan and daily structured activities are built around your needs and goals. Since inpatient care is the most intensive level offered, it provides:
- 24-hour skilled nursing observation and care from specialized clinical staff
- Daily interventions and oversight by a psychiatrist
- Intensive, coordinated treatment from a physician-led team of mental health professionals
How Long Does Inpatient Hospitalization Last?
The goal is to stabilize the most serious symptoms quickly so you or your loved one can move to a less intensive level of care, such as a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Branches Lansing. Length of stay is typically seven to nine days, though this can vary depending on your needs, progress and treatment plan.

Can I walk in for an assessment without an appointment?
Yes. Cedar Creek Hospital accepts walk-in assessments 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You or a loved one can come in for a level-of-care recommendation at any time, no appointment or referral needed.
