Caring Support During Difficult Times
Our reputation and state-of-the-art psychiatric and neuro-psychiatric programs draw patients from all over the nation. But unlike other facilities, our 22-bed inpatient unit forms an intimate setting to ensure individualized attention. Plus, our commitment to respecting privacy and demonstrating unsurpassed compassion offers patients a comfortable haven to discuss mental health issues.

It may be unsettling for patients and their family members to address a psychiatric or substance abuse disorder, but that's where our award-winning team of doctors distinguish themselves from care at other institutions. With specialized knowledge of a full range of clinical services, we deliver a precise diagnosis and carefully determine the most appropriate, customized treatment for each person. Our physicians discuss all available options with patients, and establish a mutual agreement on the best approach to achieving their goals.
