Behavioral Health Services | Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital

Therapy can be beneficial for anyone seeking personal growth, clarity, or support with life’s challenges. While therapy is often recommended to those who have a diagnosed mental health disorder like anxiety, depression, or PTSD, therapy can also benefit those who are just struggling with common life events.

Behavioral health is a blanket term that includes mental health. At Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital, we are deeply committed to the mental well-being of our community, offering a full range of behavioral health services.

Recent studies have shown that more than 5 million people visit an emergency room each year for behavioral disorders, mental disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Behavioral and mental health services are highly connected to each other and have a common goal of upholding well-being; however, they each have their own scope.
Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital offers comprehensive behavioral health services ranging from holistic psychotherapy to medication management through psychiatric care.

Our professional staff is here to provide the supportive and trusted care necessary to help you navigate life's moments and foster a healthier, stronger future.

Behavioral Health FAQs

What can I expect from behavioral health services?

If you or a loved one is suffering from behavioral health issues, we are here to help. Our services address your specific needs or the needs of your loved one. We begin with a screening to assess your needs and identify which services may be the best fit.

What is the difference between mental health and behavioral health?

Behavioral health focuses on the connection between behaviors and the overall well-being of the body, mind, and spirit. This service looks at how habits such as diet, drinking, or exercising impact a person’s physical and mental health. On the other hand, mental health is a discipline that focuses on thoughts and feelings; it looks closely at biological factors that influence a person’s mental state.

From this definition, we can see that those suffering from mental health problems can also benefit from behavioral health principles. This is because the origins of most mental health concerns are almost always bound to impact behavior in some way. Additionally, behavioral health services are so broad and holistic that they can be tailored for various types of cases.

Why are behavioral health services important?

Behavioral health has the potential to inflict numerous negative effects on a person’s life. Aside from compromising a person’s sense of well-being, behavioral problems can affect finances, careers, and relationships. It can therefore create a vicious cycle and potentially lead to further behavioral problems regarding other aspects of one’s health.

For example, a behavioral problem like excessive drinking can, in fact, lead to depression or vice versa. The same behavioral problem, when left unchecked, can create a stressful life situation that can potentially perpetuate the cycle or enable other addictions; ultimately causing the individual’s physical health to suffer.

This is why behavioral health problems need to be addressed as soon as possible. In the hands of capable experts, these problems are treatable, and patients can be directed to the most effective approach for their unique needs.
