By putting extra care and vigilance into every phase of the project, we give our clients, staff members, patients, and their families one less thing to worry about.
Understanding Behavioral Health Construction
Behavioral health facility construction is a unique field focused on designing, planning, building, and renovating spaces designed to serve individuals with behavioral health issues. These include mental health disorders as well as substance abuse problems.
What makes this field unique is the fact that the construction process must accommodate typical healthcare needs as well as specific considerations to make the spaces therapeutic and safe. Thoughtfully designed spaces can have a positive impact on the healing process and the incorporation of natural light, green spaces, and views of the outdoors are often a part of such spaces.
While the environment should be non-confining and non-restrictive, it also has to balance the safety needs of patients as well as clinicians caring for them. Another consideration is privacy, which helps patients and their families to feel secure and respected with features such as soundproofing, visual barriers, and designated visitor areas.
Benefits of Professional Behavioral Health Construction Services
- Experience: Nothing beats the value of experience when it comes to anticipating potential risks and mitigating them effectively from the design and planning phase of the project. Working with a professional eliminates the guesswork from this process and helps you get the most important details right from the onset.
- Balancing Staff and Patient Safety: Professionals in behavioral health consulting and construction are well equipped to address the safety needs of both patients and staff members. Our team understands how to design spaces that minimize the risks of self-harm and implement tamper-proof and anti-ligature fixtures and materials.
- Meeting Compliance Requirements: Behavioral health falls under the broad category of healthcare and the stringent rules that govern healthcare design and construction are also applicable here. Having a professional healthcare design consultant from the start of the project helps you meet these regulatory requirements effectively and avoid potential legal consequences.
