At Alvarado Parkway Institute, our Culture of Caring strives to provide a quality driven treatment program with diverse interventions that effectively address individual psychiatric needs and restores patients to their highest potential. Our 66 bed facility is divided into three distinct units designed to serve adults with varying levels of psychiatric illness and cognitive abilities. Upon admission, individualized treatment concerns and level of functioning are assessed to determine which unit is most appropriate. Treatment on all units is provided in the form of group therapy, individual therapy, daily meetings with psychiatrist, and social service interventions.
