It is located on the seventh floor of the UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion.</p> <p>LPPH is administered by the UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Together, they constitute one of the largest units in the UCSF School of Medicine and the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, with a mission focused on research (basic, translational and clinical), teaching, patient care, and public service.</p> <p>Our faculty and staff members are recognized for their leadership roles in comprehensive and compassionate patient care, pioneering research, excellence in training the next generation of leaders, advancing public policy to advance mental health, and commitment to diversity. We are dedicated to advancing mental health across the lifespan for the people of the Bay Area and northern California.</p> <hr /> <h2>Clinical services</h2> <p>LPPH provides a broad range of inpatient and intensive outpatient consultation, evaluation, and treatment interventions for emotional, psychological, or cognitive problems of adults. Each person is provided with an initial assessment and an individualized treatment plan. Our current programs include:</p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="/lpph/inpatient">Inpatient Program</a></strong> — A 30-bed acute psychiatric service using a biopsychosocial approach in the treatment of adults 18 years and older who suffer from severe behavioral and emotional disturbances. The unit operates 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. Admission is arranged by a referral from a mental health clinician.</li> <li><a href="/ECT"><strong>Electroconvulsive Therapy Program</strong></a> – Available for people suffering from particular behavioral and emotional disturbances, including some forms of depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. It is most often used in the treatment of severe depression that has not responded to medications and psychotherapy.</li> <li><strong><a href="/lpph/phpiop">Partial Hospitalization Program and Intensive Outpatient Program</a></strong> — Intensive outpatient services for patients with mood and/or personality disorders in addition to other severe and persistent mental illnesses using a multi-disciplinary treatment team consisting of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, clinical social workers, and rehabilitation therapists.<br /> </li> </ul> <h2>Making an appointment</h2> <p>If you are interested in obtaining treatment for yourself or a loved one, please use call <a href="tel:415-502-0000">(415) 502-0000</a> to request an appointment.</p> <p class="red"><strong>IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A LIFE-THREATENING MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCY, PLEASE CALL 988 OR GO TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM.</strong></p> <h2>Intake and treatment</h2> <p>During your initial phone call to request services, our intake team will ask for information about your current condition, requested services, and insurance coverage. You may be then scheduled for an appointment or placed on a waiting list, depending on availability.</p> <p>Your initial intake appointment will be with a UCSF psychiatric resident or psychology fellow, who may or may not be your primary clinician during your treatment. Our trainees are in the final stages of their training and are supervised by our experienced faculty members.</p> <hr /> <h2>Location</h2> <p>1600 Divisadero Street, 7th Floor<br /> San Francisco, CA 94115<br /> (<a href="https://goo.gl/maps/GbuyMnhCcYnEs4n9A" target="_blank">map and directions</a> | <a href="/lpph/hours">building hours</a>)</p> <h2>Public transportation</h2> <p>LPPH is served directly by the SF Muni <a href="https://www.sfmta.com/2" target="_blank">2-Sutter</a> and <a href="https://www.sfmta.com/24" target="_blank">24-Divisadero</a> bus lines, as well as nearby stops for the <a href="http://www.sfmta.com/1" target="_blank">1-California</a>, <a href="http://www.sfmta.com/38" target="_blank">38-Geary</a>, and <a href="http://www.sfmta.com/38R" target="_blank">38R-Geary Rapid</a> bus lines.</p> <p>If you are visiting from outside San Francisco, you can use Caltrain, BART, AC Transit, Golden Gate Transit, or San Francisco Bay Ferry for quick and convenient connections to the SF Muni system.
