When you or your family member need behavioral or mental health services, you have options for support close to home. You can walk in to the Urgent Care Walk-In Center at the Klein Family Center with no appointment necessary or schedule an appointment at the Behavioral Health Pavilion.

Outpatient Clinic at Klein Family Center

Klein Family Center outpatient services can help with many situations, including:

  • when you feel sad, anxious or depressed
  • feel as though life isn’t working out
  • think you may have an addiction issue

Our Urgent Care Walk-In Center and Outpatient Clinic sees adults and kids ages 5 years and older. We can provide brief therapy and medication management in order to help stabilize your symptoms. We also help with withdrawal management.

Our team will help patients transition to longer-term mental health providers once symptoms are stabilized.

Our Urgent Care Walk-In Center is open every day from 9 am to 9 pm. Once an assessment is completed, you can be scheduled for ongoing care in the Outpatient Clinic.

Intensive Outpatient Program and Psychiatric Day Treatment Program

The mental health Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Psychiatric Day Treatment Program at UM UCMC Aberdeen provide therapeutic activities for adults who are experiencing significant mental health issues that interfere with how they are able to function in their daily lives.

Group therapy provides an opportunity to explore how you understand yourself and others. Patients actively participate in treatment. They work with a highly qualified and licensed behavioral health team with a variety of specializations.

Referrals can come from hospitals, mental health providers or the individual. To learn more or to make a referral, call 443-843-8050.
