We consider CPAS initially for individuals specifically looking for a diagnostic work-up and the more acute or challenging patients. The adults must volunteer for treatment and agree to take medication if prescribed by one of our physicians. Individuals we see on the unit struggle with a variety of issues, such as psychosis, eating disorders, cognitive issues and substance abuse that requires detoxification.
