Inpatient Psychiatric Unit at Navos

Our 70-bed hospital in West Seattle is a refuge for adults who are experiencing a life-threatening mental health crisis. Referrals for admission are required; we accept referrals from King County Crisis and Commitment Services. At Navos, we treat patients with compassion and respect, focusing on their particular life circumstances and the steps that will lead to recovery.

Your loved one’s treatment team may include a variety of mental and behavioral health professionals, such as psychiatrists, advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs), registered nurses, primary care providers and social service coordinators.

Upon arrival at our inpatient unit, we’ll conduct an assessment and tailor a treatment plan to help your loved one recover from their crisis. Treatment may include:

• Counseling. Therapy can help patients learn coping skills and healthy behaviors.
• Medication management. Medications may be an important part of recovery. We provide around-the-clock medication management so we can adjust medications as needed and prevent medication-related complications.
• Active discharge planning. Through our discharge planning process, we link patients to services and resources in the community to help them rebuild their lives.
• Support from peer counselors. Our Peer Bridger program is designed to help patients transition back to the community after their inpatient hospital stay. Our trained and certified Peer Bridger counselors use their own recovery experiences with mental health and substance use challenges to demonstrate that people can and do recover from such conditions. Counselors in this program help patients obtain or maintain community supports such as funding, housing, outpatient treatment and more.
