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.
