The first step to treatment at Sentiens is to see your General Practitioner. Your GP may or may not conduct a full mental health assessment. At Sentiens, you will recieve a thorough mental health assessment prior to treatment.
At this time, Sentiens provides outpatient and day-treatment services. There are some cases that more intensive inpatient treatment may be required. In these instances, Sentiens Psychiatrists have admission options to local inpatient services.
In many cases, we aim to provide a comprehensive day treatment program to avoid unnecessary hospital treatment, where the person remains in their usual surroundings, provided that the situation can be dealt with adequetly.
Sentiens is licensed as a Day Hospital by the Department of Health Western Australia. Day hospital services provide an alternative or complementary service to inpatient psychiatric care. Some private health benefits are provided for these expanding services.
