Emphasis on Psychiatric Care

This hospital focuses on adults navigating the complex intersection of serious mental illness and substance use. Medical detox is integrated into psychiatric care, ensuring that withdrawal symptoms are addressed in tandem with underlying depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, or mood instability. A dedicated psychiatric team—including psychiatrists and nurse practitioners—oversees safety and stabilization from day one. For patients in crisis, this all-in-one approach means fewer gaps in care and a better foundation for long-term recovery.

Hospital Setting with Private Rooms

The 34-bed inpatient psychiatric hospital includes private rooms, creating space for rest and privacy during an often-overwhelming time. Shared spaces include a large, comfortable dayroom with TV and seating, and a smoking-permitted outdoor area. Beacon uses the ObservSMART monitoring system, a real-time, digital observation tool that improves patient safety during vulnerable moments. These layers of physical and clinical security help reduce agitation, build trust, and create a setting where recovery feels possible.

Whole Person Care

Daily programming combines structured group therapy with activity-based therapies like art, music, and recreation, offering creative outlets that can engage patients who might feel disconnected or overwhelmed. Social service and nursing-led educational groups help patients develop practical coping skills. Crisis-oriented family therapy involves patients and their support systems in the recovery process. This multi-faceted, human-centered approach empowers individuals to reconnect with themselves, rebuild confidence, and prepare for life after inpatient care.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
