Mental health treatment is not one single thing. It can include individual or group therapy, specialized therapeutic approaches, medication management when appropriate, and different levels of outpatient care. The combination depends on what you’re experiencing and how much support may be helpful.
Mental health concerns affect a significant number of adults across the country. According to the most recent national data available from SAMHSA, 23.4% of U.S. adults, or 61.5 million people, had a mental illness in 2024. About 5.6%, or 14.6 million adults, had a serious mental illness during the same year. These numbers also reflect why mental health treatment can look so different from one person to another.
Our mental health treatment in Bowling Green, KY addresses a range of conditions that can affect mood, behavior, relationships, and daily functioning. Symptoms can look different from one person to another, even among people with the same diagnosis.
Depression can involve more than periods of sadness. Persistent low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, changes in sleep or energy, difficulty concentrating, and changes in motivation can all affect how someone functions from day to day.
Anxiety disorders can involve persistent worry, fear, physical tension, panic symptoms, or avoidance. When these symptoms become difficult to manage, they can disturb sleep, work, relationships, and other parts of daily life.
Bipolar disorder involves episodes of significant changes in mood, energy, activity, and concentration. Some episodes may involve elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, and less need for sleep, while depressive episodes can affect motivation, energy, and daily functioning.
PTSD can develop after experiencing or experiencing a traumatic event and may involve intrusive memories, avoidance, changes in mood or thinking, and heightened reactions in response to potential threats. Trauma-related symptoms can affect people differently and may interfere with relationships, sleep, work, and daily life.
Borderline personality disorder can involve difficulty regulating emotions, an unstable sense of self, impulsive behaviors, and patterns of intense or unstable relationships. Treatment can focus on knowing these patterns and developing skills for managing emotions, relationships, and distress.
Your treatment plan starts with an assessment of your symptoms, health and treatment history, relationships, daily functioning, and other factors that may be affecting your mental health. When appropriate, our team may recommend a psychiatric evaluation to understand your symptoms better and determine whether medication or other psychiatric support may be helpful.
Two people with the same diagnosis may experience different symptoms or need different amounts of support. What we learn during your assessment helps our team determine an appropriate level of care, identify treatment goals, and decide which therapies or services may be useful.
Individual therapy gives you one-on-one time with a therapist to focus on your symptoms, treatment goals, and the challenges affecting your daily life. Group therapy gives you opportunities to learn alongside others, practice new skills, and hear different perspectives. Both can play different roles in supporting your progress during treatment.
Your care team may also draw from different evidence-based therapies depending on what you’re experiencing and what you’re working toward in treatment:
At Redstone Behavioral Health, the therapies you use may change as treatment moves forward. Your care team will keep looking at what’s helping, what still feels difficult, and where another approach may give you more support.
Medication isn’t part of every treatment plan, but it may be recommended when a psychiatric evaluation finds that it could help address your symptoms. When medication is part of your care, it works alongside therapy and the other support you receive at Redstone Behavioral Health.
Our team monitors how you respond to medication over time and talks with you regarding any changes in your symptoms or concerns. When adjustments are essential, your provider can work with you to determine what makes sense as treatment continues.
Mental health concerns and substance use disorders can occur at the same time, and each may affect what you experience during treatment. When both are present, Redstone Behavioral Healthprovides dual diagnosis treatment that addresses substance use and mental health concerns within the same course of care.
Your team can consider how symptoms, substance use, and changes in either area may affect your progress, rather than approaching them as unrelated concerns.
Your assessment helps our team determine how much structure and support may be appropriate. Redstone Behavioral Healthoffers three levels of outpatient care for mental health treatment in Bowling Green:
Our most structured outpatient option, with treatment scheduled throughout the day while you return home or to your living environment outside of treatment hours.
Offers regular treatment sessions with more flexibility than PHP, allowing more time for work, school, family, and other daily responsibilities.
Offers the most flexibility of our three levels, with ongoing therapy and support based on your treatment needs.
Where you begin isn’t based on a required order. Some people may start with more structured support, while others begin with IOP or outpatient care. As your symptoms, stability, and daily functioning change, your team can reassess whether your current level of care still provides the right amount of support.
If mental health symptoms are affecting your daily life, an assessment at Redstone Behavioral Healthcan help you understand what type of support may be appropriate. Our team will talk with you about what you’re experiencing, answer questions about treatment, and explain the levels of care available based on your needs.
Our admissions team can also verify your insurance benefits and help you understand what to expect before treatment begins. Contact Redstone Behavioral Healthto schedule a confidential assessment and learn what mental health treatment could look like for you.
The cost of mental health treatment depends on the level of care you receive and the details of your insurance plan. Coverage, deductibles, copays, and other out-of-pocket costs can vary. Our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain what your plan may cover before treatment begins.
Your assessment helps determine which level of care may be appropriate. Symptom severity, daily functioning, stability, available support, and other factors might influence whether PHP, IOP, or outpatient treatment provides the amount of structure you need.
During an intake assessment, our team asks about your current symptoms, mental health and treatment history, daily functioning, medications, and other factors that may affect your care. Depending on your needs, a psychiatric evaluation may also be recommended. What we learn helps us determine an appropriate level of care and where treatment should begin.
Yes. We protect the information you share during mental health treatment. Redstone does not share details about your care with family members, employers, or other people without your permission, except in situations where disclosure is allowed or required by law.
Yes. Redstone Behavioral Healthcan address co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns through dual diagnosis treatment. When both are present, your care team considers how each may be affecting your symptoms, daily life, and progress rather than treating them as unrelated concerns.
There isn’t one set length of treatment for PHP or IOP. How long you remain at a particular level of care depends on your symptoms, progress, stability, and the amount of support you continue to need. Your care team can reassess your needs during treatment and recommend changes to your level of care when appropriate.
Not necessarily. Whether you can continue working or attending school depends on your level of care, treatment schedule, and other responsibilities. IOP and outpatient care generally offer more flexibility than PHP, which involves a more structured treatment schedule. Our admissions team can explain scheduling expectations so you can understand how treatment may fit into your week.
