    Suicidal Ideation

    Suicidal Ideation

    “Suicidal ideations,” often called “suicidal thoughts,” is a broad term used to describe a range of contemplations, wishes, and preoccupations with death and suicide. Suicidal ideation is one of the symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and some other mental health illnesses. But it may occur in people with no mental illness at all. If you or a loved one has suicidal ideation with a mild to moderate risk level, you should get help at an outpatient mental health facility, like Overland Mental Health. If you have active suicidal thoughts or plans, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. If you or a loved one are in immediate danger, call 911.

    When a patient arrives at Overland with suicidality issues, patients are immersed in our safe treatment settings, where they are closely watched and evaluated repeatedly for their level of suicidality. At Overland, we treat suicidal ideations in several manners based on a personal approach to each patient. We offer IOP and PHP programs and different psychotherapeutic modalities to treat suicidal ideations effectively.

    Suicidal Ideation Assessment

    Patients at Overland are asked to contract for safety (suicidal assessment). During an evaluation, patients are asked to rate the intensity of their urges, whether they have a plan, whether they have the means to carry out their plan, and whether they intend to make an attempt. Patients are also asked about previous suicidal thoughts and attempts.

    Following the assessment, the patients are asked to sign our written contract for safety, which is a verbal agreement to remain safe. This contract explains our rules around suicidality and what will happen if a client makes a suicide attempt (for example, transfer to a higher inpatient level care facility).

    Individual Therapy

    Individual sessions can be used to help explore the reasons that may have led to the development of your suicidal thoughts. At our clinic, you and your therapist can work through the causes of your emotional pain and help you learn healthier ways of dealing with stress, triggers for relapse, and ways to handle suicidal urges.

    Group therapy

    Different groups are held in the morning, afternoon,s and evenings every day and cover a wide range of topics. Through group sessions, patients connect with others while learning better communication skills. Group therapy sessions at Overland are facilitated by licensed and registered mental health professionals and addiction counselors.

    Family therapy

    Family therapy can help loved ones understand what you or your loved one is going through and allow family members to be a part of the healing process.

    Medication Management

    Our team evaluates patients to address the need for medication. Depending upon your circumstances, your treatment plan may include medication to ease the symptoms. Drugs such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, or mood stabilizers can help reduce presenting symptoms, leading to a reduction in suicidal urges. All medication use at Overland is closely monitored and altered as necessary.

    Psychotherapeutic Modalities

    Patients at Overland are exposed to a wide array of psychotherapeutic modalities, which gives them a toolset to deal with strong feelings and mood changes. We have specific groups to address suicidality, including Seeking Safety and Process Groups. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT, may also be used to reduce feelings of hopelessness and suicide attempts. Dialectical behavioral therapy can be used to manage overwhelming feelings that can lead to suicidal

    Number of deaths due to intentional self-harm per 100,000 population USA 2020Suicide, the act of taking one’s own life, is a terrible reaction to stressful life situations. What makes suicide even more tragic is that it can be prevented and treated. If you are considering suicide or know of someone that feels suicidal, reach out for help and treatment because you might save a life – your own or someone else’s.

    Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States and the 2nd leading cause of death in people between 10-34. The gravity of the situation can be seen in the fact that every 11 minutes, one person loses their life to suicide.

    Understanding the issues concerning suicide and mental health is a meaningful way to participate in suicide prevention, help others in crisis, and change the conversation around suicide.

    What is worse, many cases of suicide are not reported due to stigma, religion, and other concerns. Hence, the actual picture may be even darker than statistics shows. Populations with disproportionately high suicide rates include:

    California Suicide Statistics By Age

    Although some addicts do recognize the problems their addiction has created and seek treatment and recovery on their own, this is not the case with everyone.

    Very satisfied with my experience! Overland offered me the support that I needed to overcome my mental health obstacles. My therapist was extremely helpful, supportive, and always knew when to ask the right questions. The sessions I had with my therapist helped me address underlying factors in order to go about achieving stability in a constructive fashion. After visiting, I can say that I have much more direction and understanding when dealing with adverse scenarios than before. thanks so much!
