The demanding nature of your profession can take a toll on your mental well-being. We are dedicated to shedding light on the importance of inpatient mental health treatment tailored specifically for first responders. Let us guide you toward the support you need to heal and thrive.

The nature of first responder jobs exposes individuals to high levels of stress and trauma. Over time, the cumulative effect of these experiences can result in a range of mental health challenges, including:

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Flashbacks, nightmares and intense anxiety triggered by past traumatic events.
• Depression: Persistent sadness, loss of interest, feelings of hopelessness and changes in sleep and appetite.
• Anxiety Disorders: Excessive worrying, panic attacks and physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat and sweating.
• Substance Abuse: Attempting to cope with stress through alcohol or substance use, often leading to addiction.

Glen Oaks Hospital specializes in providing trauma-informed care, recognizing that your experiences demand a unique and sensitive approach to treatment. Our dedicated team of compassionate professionals is trained to address the underlying trauma associated with the challenges of first responder careers. Our comprehensive treatment includes:

• Individual Psychiatric Sessions: Customized sessions to address trauma, stress and effective coping strategies.

• Holistic Therapies: Engage in art, music and recreational therapies to promote relaxation and self-expression.
• Medication Management: If appropriate, our experienced psychiatrists can help manage symptoms with careful medication guidance.
