Social Services

The Social Services Department is comprised of social workers, mental health counselors, and utilization nurses who are key members of the patient’s treatment team. Social Service clinicians assist in providing psychiatric treatment that meets the unique needs of both patients and their families. Every patient receiving treatment in the hospital has a Social Services clinician assigned to their care. The Social Service clinician meets daily with the treatment team to assist in the development of the patient’s individual treatment plan. Social Service clinicians are available to respond to questions and concerns of family members; however, the patient or their guardian must authorize any discussion of the patient’s treatment with any party outside of Butler Hospital.
