Focus

This center treats mental health conditions and co-occurring substance use. You receive collaborative, individualized treatment that addresses both issues for whole-person healing.

Southcoast Behavioral Health is a psychiatric hospital that provides inpatient treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Their inpatient programs serve children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, with specialized units designed to meet the unique needs of each age group. Through personalized care, group therapy, and skill-building interventions, clients find stabilization and a strong foundation for lasting wellness. Southcoast’s approach focuses on helping clients build skills and strategies for continued progress in the months and years following their time in treatment. During a typical 5–7 day inpatient stay, clients take part in individual therapy, family therapy, and medication management. They also join process groups, where they share experiences with others, and didactic groups, where they learn about mental health topics. Conveniently located along the state’s southern coast, and readily accessible from Cape Cod, Boston and Rhode Island, the Southcoast campus is a place of hope and healing. The 192-bed facility has an atmosphere of tranquility, while also providing space for safe recreation like the indoor gymnasium and courtyards with walking paths and a basketball court.
