As a compliment to standard psychiatric care, BryLin Hospital is now offering alternative therapies to their already long list of specialized programming options. Some practitioners may see these non-conventional therapies as a replacement to conventional medicine but BryLin believes that complementary holistic programming can be beneficial for mental illnesses if used alongside conventional treatments, not replacing them.

Complementary therapies can provide a sense of relaxation and increased well being contributing positively to a person’s mental health. Holistic programming options available at BryLin include Yoga, Massage Therapy, Tai Chi, and Pastoral Care. All of these have some effect in reducing stress, tension, anxiety and can assist in alleviating mental distress. This holistic approach to care means treating the whole person (physically, psychologically and spiritually) rather than just focusing on the symptoms of the illness.

BryLin Hospital, WNY’s only private provider of inpatient psychiatry and outpatient substance abuse services, provides age specific treatment in a safe, supportive, and structured environment. Specialized psychiatric programming includes: MICA/Dual Diagnosis programming; Men's Programming; Women's Programming; Inpatient & Ambulatory Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), and more. This therapeutic array of treatment services are designed to enhance the quality of life for patients who are experiencing acute psychiatric distress such as major depression, anxiety disorders, and post traumatic stress.

Like diabetes or heart disease, a mental illness can be treated successfully. Don’t suffer in silence, get help today! Call BryLin Hospital at 886-8200 ext. 2264 and let our experience be your guide to wellness and recovery.
