Standard Treatments

There are fundamental standards for the treatment of persons with suicidal thoughts and for those who acted on those thoughts with previous suicide attempts.   Treatment options will vary depending on the:

  • Evaluation of the person's suicide risk
  • Associated level of suicide risk
  • Level of care available or required treatment

 

Every mental health treatment facility will have unique policies and procedures to meet the specific needs of their clients and consequently the treatment standards may differ slightly.
