Civil Services
Civil Services underwent recorganization in order to better
meet the diverse needs of the adult civil patient population. These
changes took effect in the fall of 2011. The "Challenges" and "Sherman
3" (formerly called STEP) units were reconfigured as follows:
Sherman Hall North and Sherman Hall
South are coed, minimum security units that serve an average daily
population of 40 patients admitted for psychiatric assessment,
stabilization, medication management and treatment. An array of active
treatment options, including on and off unit activities, a work program, and
various educational opportunitites are provided to patients by the
multidisciplinary team. Individualized behavior treatment is available
for patients with co-occurring psychiatric impairments and behavioral
dyscontrol.
Youth Inpatient Services Unit (YSU) is an
18-bed, gender specific, assessment/treatment unit for children and
adolescents. Treatment is available for all needs, including
psychiatric, behavioral, developmental disabilities, and the Anchorage
Program for patients dually diagnosed with significant mental health and
substance abuse issues. Short and long term treatment is available
with a focus on community reintegration.
