Inpatient Psychiatric Care
When more intensive support, stabilisation, and monitoring are needed, we coordinate comprehensive inpatient psychiatric care in affiliated private facilities.
When is Inpatient Care Necessary?
Inpatient care is typically recommended when an individual is experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis, requires intensive medication stabilisation, or when their symptoms are severe enough to significantly impair their daily functioning or safety.
Dr Rajcoomar works closely with dedicated multidisciplinary teams within the hospital setting to provide a safe, structured environment for recovery.
A Multidisciplinary Approach
Inpatient treatment is highly collaborative. While Dr Rajcoomar oversees your psychiatric care and medication management, you will also benefit from the expertise of other healthcare professionals.
- Clinical psychologists for individual and group therapy
- Occupational therapists for functional assessments and skills training
- Experienced psychiatric nursing staff providing 24-hour care
- Social workers for family support and discharge planning
