For patients experiencing a mental health crisis, expert care and attention are critical to getting back to your best self as quickly as possible.

Our inpatient facilities offer individualized treatment plans in a minimally-restrictive, therapeutic environment. We are dedicated to providing you with the comfort, safety and attention you need so you can get back to living your fullest life.

What Is Inpatient Admission?

Inpatient admission allows patients to focus on recovery at a facility where they can receive 24-hour care and support for behavioral and mental health challenges.

Our inpatient treatment options are for both adults and adolescents. During your stay with us, you’ll focus on recovery, managing your symptoms, overcoming any obstacles you may face and the next steps in integrating these skills into daily life.
