Tamarack Health Ashland Medical Center

Bringing adult hospital treatment and outpatient counseling across age groups into one behavioral health service, Tamarack Health Ashland Medical Center treats mental health conditions and substance use disorders (SUD). Adults who need psychiatric stabilization or medical detoxification receive inpatient care, while children, adolescents, and adults can attend appointments without a hospital stay. Clinicians assess each person’s circumstances and develop treatment plans around recovery goals, considering work, home, and family routines.

Adult Stabilization and Medical Detox

The 10-bed acute care unit treats adults experiencing depression, suicidal thoughts, extreme anxiety, hallucinations, paranoia, or mood swings. Its team provides medical detoxification for alcohol, stimulants, opioids, prescription drugs, and other illicit drugs. During the hospital stay, staff and patients work together on structured therapy and group support that focus on individual strengths and emotional difficulties. Therapeutic interventions also help patients prepare for the transition from hospital care to home.

Outpatient Counseling and Eating-Disorder Care

Outpatient clinicians offer individual, family, and couples counseling, group therapy, and medication management for anxiety, depression, trauma, co-occurring conditions, and addiction, including gambling. Children’s services address ADHD and conduct disorders and include court and custody evaluations, with caregivers contributing treatment goals. Eating-disorder counseling helps patients change eating patterns, replace unhealthy habits, and manage related stress. For eating disorders, the team also helps patients transition between treatment levels and may coordinate with medical providers, dietitians, and school counselors.
