Inpatient Treatment
Our inpatient programs provide intensive stabilization for mental health crises and substance use disorders. Patients receive 24/7 medical supervision, individual and group therapy, and medication management in age-specific units. Treatment includes evidence-based modalities like CBT and DBT, with specialized tracks for trauma, autism, and mood disorders.
Outpatient Services
Outpatient programs offer structured care while maintaining daily routines. Options include partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) levels, featuring therapy groups, psychiatric care, and relapse prevention. Services address depression, anxiety, substance use, and co-occurring conditions through flexible morning or evening sessions.
Addiction Treatment
We treat drug and alcohol addiction with medically monitored detox and therapy programs. Our approach combines medication-assisted treatment, 12-step integration, and trauma-informed care. Patients learn coping skills through individual counseling, family therapy, and peer support groups to achieve long-term recovery.

Our ECT program offers rapid symptom relief for severe depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. Treatments are administered by board-certified psychiatrists using modern anesthesia techniques. Patients typically receive 6-12 sessions with ongoing outpatient maintenance available for sustained improvement.

Spent some time in 3 South two months before Covid broke out. Some of the staff cared. There was absolutely no therapeutic counseling. The most that any groups would amount to was either unarranged music circles or students from Penn doing their best to engage with questions. There's probably good people here, but if you're in the suicide squad, you're gonna be treated with the bare minimum to meet their quotas.

I have seen prison inmates get treated better than the way some of the staff that work at this facility treat patients. I was on a unit and a patient was having a psychotic episode and the techs were laughing at the patient as if that is something to laugh at and joke about. The doctors will keep you against your will to get the biggest payout from your insurance. They said they would discharge me but at the last minute the psychiatrist told me Id have to stay another week for no particular reason at all I was well behaved was there for 14 days. Why keep me another 7? The food is disgusting

Never under any circumstances go here. Cockroaches in the bathroom and rats in the wall. Staff lies to paitents and family. They'll sedate you with medication if they can. Staff are too lazy to try to break up fights and would just give the people fighting injections to sedate them. Staff called paitents names and made fun of them. Windows have film over them so you cant see outside. Very very dirty. Lobby and exterior look nice but don't be fooled. Absolutely zero therapy. They just have paitents sit in front of the tv all day and if you're lucky you can color for 30 minutes (their "unique therapy

Since I didn't get the answers I needed on the phone, can the owner please explain how did two little girls jump my child while currently being in your care? How is it that it was brought to staff's attention that these little girls had a plan put in place to jump my child? I am not one to put my business out there but this facility gave me no choice. Although bed was available for my child I decided to let her go to Belmont for treatment because I am struggling with her mental health. These people were suppose to protect her from harm and failed completely. I struggle with my child but she isn

Absolutely a rough stay. There were some very nice staff but some were absolutely terrible. Patients were decent, we even had a talent show! But staff subduded us constantly with drugs and made most of us walking zombies to make us easier to deal with. Doctors were never available and hard to talk to. Constantly adjusting meds without telling me, little to no edible food, only recreational therapy and put on one to ones with no reason. Don't go here, it won't help.
