What is Suicidal Ideation?
Suicidal ideation refers to thoughts or preoccupations with suicide, which can range from fleeting considerations to detailed planning. It’s important to recognize that experiencing these thoughts does not mean someone is weak or flawed. Instead, it often signifies that the individual is overwhelmed by their circumstances and is in desperate need of support and intervention.
Understanding suicidal ideation is the first step in addressing it effectively. It’s vital to allow individuals the space and safety to express their feelings while providing the necessary care to reduce their emotional pain and address underlying issues.

Treatment Options for Suicidal Ideation
At Stone River Behavioral Health, we offer a range of treatment options tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Our approach ensures compassionate, professional care focused on holistic healing.
Inpatient treatment offers a safe, structured environment for individuals experiencing severe suicidal ideation. This level of care provides 24/7 monitoring, immediate access to psychiatric and medical care, and intensive therapy. The focus is on stabilizing the individual, managing crisis situations, and developing a comprehensive treatment plan.
Our partial hospitalization program is designed for individuals who need intensive care but do not require round-the-clock supervision. PHP includes daily therapy sessions, psychiatric evaluations, and medication management, allowing individuals to receive extensive support while maintaining some aspects of their daily routine.
The Intensive Outpatient Program provides a flexible yet comprehensive treatment option. IOP includes structured therapy sessions several times a week, focusing on skill-building, coping strategies, and continuous support. This program is ideal for those transitioning from inpatient care or requiring more than weekly outpatient sessions.
Outpatient treatment offers continued support through regular therapy sessions while allowing individuals to live at home and maintain their daily activities. This level of care is suitable for individuals with less severe symptoms or those who have progressed through higher levels of care.
Medication can be a crucial component in managing suicidal ideation and underlying mental health conditions. Our psychiatric team works closely with individuals to determine the most effective medication regimen, continually monitoring and adjusting as needed to ensure optimal outcomes.
Therapy is a cornerstone of our treatment approach, providing a safe space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Our highly trained therapists utilize evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other modalities to provide comprehensive support.
