Additional Mental Health Services – Following Referral by a Professional

Outpatient treatment programs are intended for individuals experiencing psychological challenges that require intensive care without overnight hospitalization. Programs typically run for about six hours a day, five days a week, and are offered at mental health centers, general hospitals, or community facilities.

Treatment includes:

  • Mental health interventions
  • Individual and group sessions provided by psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and occupational therapists

Outpatient treatment can serve as an intermediate step between outpatient care and full hospitalization (halfway in) or as an alternative to full hospitalization.

Referrals are provided by clinic or hospital teams.

Treatment is free of charge, but a referral form for psychiatric outpateint treatment is required. Approval is granted for 2–4 weeks, depending on the situation.

Stabilizing homes provide an alternative or shortened psychiatric hospitalization for individuals in acute mental crises requiring high-intensity care. Located within the community, these homes host up to 12 residents who stay 24/7 under the supervision of a multidisciplinary mental health team.

This approach emphasizes a holistic view of the patient’s life, including rehabilitation, a humanistic perspective, open dialogue, equitable treatment, and involvement of the patient and their family in decision-making.

The treatment is time-limited and approved based on clinical need.

Approval from Leumit’s mental health team is required, followed by an assessment visit to one of the approved balancing homes to determine suitability.

This alternative to traditional hospitalization is intended for individuals experiencing an acute mental health crisis requiring intensive intervention. Treatment is provided at the patient’s home by a multidisciplinary team, including a psychiatrist, social worker, nurse, and other health professionals.

Approval from Leumit's mental health professionals and a referral form is required. 

Following approval, an assessment visit by the home hospitalization provider determines eligibility and creates a tailored treatment plan.

Full hospitalization is available in psychiatric wards within general hospitals or dedicated psychiatric hospitals. Upon discharge, follow-up community care ensures continuity, preserves the benefits of hospitalization, and prevents relapse or readmission.

No referral, commitment form, or payment is required for emergency visits to psychiatric emergency rooms at mental health centers.

A referral is required for emergency rooms at general hospitals.
