Breaking the Stigma Around Mental Health7/24/2021 At SUN Behavioral Columbus, we come to work everyday passionate about helping our patients heal. We believe that by maintaining a positive attitude, working together, and treating all of our patients with the respect and dignity they deserve, we can truly make a difference in lives. We are determined to bring high-quality best-in-class services to everybody who needs help. Through individualized treatment plans, we are working to break stigmas surrounding mental health treatment one plan and one patient at a time. The path forward starts here with SUN.
Making Mental Health Care Accessible As an organization, we are not just focused on treating symptoms and surface-level complications of mental illness or substance use. We aim to improve the health and well-being of each individual who makes up our local community. Here at SUN Behavioral Columbus, we know the value that local communities make in our lives. Together, we learn, grow, and experience so many wonderful things through our interactions and relationships with one another. Therefore, our goals include always aiming to not just treat issues, but truly enhance the lives of our patients. Personalized and Compassionate Treatment SUN Behavioral Columbus offers comprehensive treatment for a wide variety of age groups, including adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Co-occurring treatment is also addressed. In our Adolescent Program, we support adolescents grappling with mental illness. An earlier detection and diagnosis of mental illness in an adolescent can help us treat the issue before it becomes more complex and trickier to handle. Catching any kind of illness, both mental and physical, early on is much better than catching it late. Our adolescent program sets young people up for later success by addressing problems that are happening now. Through psychotherapy and medication, we can address conditions before they continue on as undiagnosed for many years. Our Adult Mood and Anxiety program aims to help the millions of adults who struggle with mental illness every year. Like any other age group, we take the time to carefully listen to a patient's concerns and needs in order to meticulously diagnose the issue. We are always careful to diagnose each condition so that an effective, individualized treatment plan can be drawn up. Individualized treatment plans help us make treatment more effective for each patient. Through psychotherapy like cognitive behavioral therapy and medication, patients can learn how to apply important coping skills in their everyday life. Our Adult Outpatient program is split into two parts. The first option is partial hospitalization (PHP), which is a transitional stage following inpatient treatment. During PHP, our patients engage in group therapy sessions during the week. These therapy sessions often focus on psychotherapy and are great opportunities to learn relapse prevention skills and other skills that can be effectively applied in everyday life to maintain a healthy life and mental state. After PHP, patients can continue on to intensive outpatient treatment (IOP). IOP is the most flexible level of care we offer. At this stage, patients often balance independent living with treatment and attend three group therapy sessions, up to five times a week. Our Integrity for Older Adults program addresses the needs of the elderly, an often overlooked population when it comes to mental health and substance misuse treatment. We carefully diagnose the conditions of each patient and begin working on a customizable treatment plan based on the diagnoses. We are passionate about involving our patients in their own healing journey and support and empower them to take an active role in their health journey. Like other age groups, elderly adults can also benefit from psychotherapy, medication, or both. Our Co-occurring and Substance Use Disorders program recognizes the need to diagnose all conditions in a patient. It's not uncommon for a patient with a mental illness to also experience a substance misuse disorder or vice versa. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive treatment to our patients, and that means treating each of their conditions. Integrated treatment is used to acknowledge and properly treat each condition, setting each individual up for long-term success. Through highly individualized treatment, group psychotherapy, recreational therapy, and alternative approaches such as mindfulness and problem-solving, our patients' variety of needs are properly addressed. Finally, our Telehealth program is an excellent opportunity to experience quality treatment right from the comfort of home. Telehealth is making big waves throughout the country as the demand for quality, accessible, virtual care rises. Now, you can stay at home without neglecting your mental health needs. Telehealth gives you the opportunity to experience the same quality of care as on-site patients and is especially convenient and flexible for the busy person. Dedicated To Our Core Values Running disconnected and inflexible treatment programs isn't our style. We know that it takes courage and determination to seek treatment for mental health. The work that we put into accommodating our patients via individualized treatment plans reflects our commitment to our core values of safety, teamwork, integrity and compassion. Every day, we come to work ready to live out these core values through our interactions with our patients, their loved ones, and each other. We don't believe in impersonal care. Here at SUN Behavioral Columbus, we have heart and are passionate about seeing our patients succeed in the long-run.

Beginning your path forward with us at SUN Behavioral Columbus ensures a hope-filled journey that meets all your needs and treats all your concerns. No matter what path you took to get here and no matter if your path to recovery looks different from someone else's, your situation is worthy of compassionate treatment and a supported recovery.
