Services
Inpatient Treatment
Short-term residential program for adults requiring acute psychiatric stabilization and 24/7 medical supervision. Patients receive individualized treatment plans combining medication management, evidence-based therapies, and structured daily routines. Our secure environment ensures safety while addressing mental health crises, substance withdrawal complications, and complex behavioral issues through constant professional oversight.
Dual Diagnosis
Integrated treatment approach addressing co-occurring mental health disorders and substance abuse simultaneously. Combines cognitive behavioral therapy with medical detoxification, relapse prevention strategies, and ongoing counseling to treat both conditions concurrently. Staff specialists work together to create personalized recovery paths that address complex interactions between psychiatric symptoms and addictive behaviors.
Partial Hospitalization
Structured 5-day-per-week program offering intensive therapy during daytime hours while allowing home residency. Patients participate in group therapy sessions, individual counseling, and skill-building workshops totaling 20+ weekly hours. This middle-ground option maintains treatment intensity while gradually reintegrating patients into community living through supervised programming.
Intensive Outpatient
Flexible 3-day-per-week treatment option for individuals transitioning from higher care levels or needing ongoing support. Sessions focus on relapse prevention techniques, coping strategies, and psychosocial skills development while maintaining work or home responsibilities. Structured 12-hour weekly programming offers continued professional guidance without requiring full-time residency.
Senior Care Program
Specialized inpatient treatment addressing older adults' unique mental health needs including dementia-related behaviors and late-life depression. Age-appropriate therapies focus on cognitive maintenance, medication management for geriatric patients, and memory support techniques in a modified environment that prioritizes safety and accessibility for senior residents.

I give this place zero stars my mother was abused over medicated to the point she couldn't eat or drink was deprived oxygen when she is ordered to be on it 24hrs a day sustained a fall which Delta blamed on the transferring hospital and the nurse practitioner and physician was rude told me they would not send her for medical attention and to come get her my mom has bruises all over her I signed her out ama they literally were killing her!
Do not send your love ones here they are better off with out care than at delta it's sad the staff is rude unprofessional they lack to adequate staff to care for these patients not to mention prisoners are sent to this facility for mental care as well it's not a safe environment period! I have filed reports against them I hope it gets shut down!

Dr. Virk is the worst doctor Ive ever been to. They put me on medications that I told them I couldnt be on because I have only one kidney. Not one was my blood tested or taken. I asked for a pregnancy test while I was there and they just said I wasnt without issuing it. Extremely unprofessional Doctors. However, the nicest staff Ive ever met. I wouldnt suggest going there but if you have to the staff will help you a lot.

Delta Specialty Hospital is a toxic environment for mentally ill patients. Most of the nurses and techs are toxic and rude. Don't bring your loved ones here. They are lazy and don't want to do their jobs. They say "I'm not going to do this, I'm not going to do that, or do it yourself to the patients."They have no patience or respect for the patients, to me, the patients on the third floor have more patience and respect for the workers than they do the patients.
They ignored the patients in need, even the doctors ignore your request for any help(this is not my experience, this is what I witnessed, it happened to two patients on more than one occasion at least ten times or more). Even a paramedic guy warned me at the door, how the workers are and that's sad btw that was my first time ever being there!

DO NOT GO HERE FOR SHORT TERM DISABILITY! These people will tell you that they can't do short term disability but will not legally explain to you why that is. I first called asking why this is and they immediately put me on hold expecting me to just take their claim that we don't do it and hang up.

I am not happy with Delta Hospital, my spouse was a patient at this hospital and when he was released he was very sick. He was not this way when he was admitted to Delta hospital. I kept telling them something was wrong with my husband and they did not listen. When he left this hospital he was admitted to St. Francis ICU in very bad shape. If I had not gotten him out of this place he would have died.
I do not know what medications they were giving him, but he has not been the same since. I will not give you one star, your staff is difficult to deal with and you can not get any information once you are lock up in there. If you take any personal items they will lose them. You need new management.

My experience at Delta was terrible. The staff stole my personal belongings upon intake and did not provide assistance in trying to help locate my things. Brittany (the RN) gave me the complete runaround when i called about my property. She stated that a guy by the name of Tony was supposed to give me a call back concerning these complaints--but never did. I called Delta again today and the staff was well coerced by someone to ignore my allegation.
I feel that my rights as a patient was violated and something needs to be done about it. Another thing, while i was a patient (during 09/11 through 09/25) my food trays were contaminated with hair and other life threatening debree. I really feel that this untalented hospital should no longer exist; but since Delta refuses to answer and comply with in and outpatient complaints, i suggest that i should seek a higher chain of command--which was not granted to me at all.
I don't like Delta Medical Center. Please help me in getting some justifiable help regarding these issues and terrible incidents that have occurred lately. Thank you all for supporting this proper cause.
