Services
Inpatient Psychiatric Treatment
Our inpatient programs provide 24/7 observation and structured care for individuals experiencing acute mental health crises. Designed for adults and adolescents, this service combines medical supervision with therapeutic interventions to stabilize symptoms and prepare patients for transition to lower levels of care. Treatment includes individual and group therapy, medication management, and family involvement.
Substance Use Disorder Treatment
We offer comprehensive treatment for substance use disorders through detoxification, residential programs, and outpatient services. Our evidence-based approach integrates behavioral therapies, relapse prevention strategies, and dual diagnosis support for co-occurring mental health conditions. Patients receive personalized care plans tailored to their recovery goals and medical needs.
Partial Hospitalization Programs
Partial hospitalization provides intensive daytime treatment while allowing patients to return home evenings. This structured program includes group therapy, psychiatric evaluations, and skill-building sessions for individuals transitioning from inpatient care or requiring more support than traditional outpatient services. It focuses on symptom management and relapse prevention.
Crisis Stabilization Services
Our crisis stabilization units offer immediate intervention for individuals experiencing acute mental health episodes. Services include 24/7 psychiatric assessments, safety monitoring, and rapid medication adjustments. The goal is to de-escalate crises within 24-72 hours and connect patients with appropriate follow-up care through our continuum of services.
Community and Home-Based Services
These services support long-term recovery through home visits, community outreach, and outpatient therapy. Programs include case management, psychosocial rehabilitation, and skills training to help patients maintain stability post-crisis. Services are available for all ages and focus on reintegration into schools, workplaces, and family systems.

If I could give less than one star I would. I am extremely disappointed in the way my mental health was handled through this facility. I was interested in the outpatient programs so I reached out to begin the process of enrolling. I had my virtual intake appointment on a Friday and the person I spoke with was 15 minutes late to the zoom. I let it go and she was super encouraging and easy to talk with and told me I would hear from the facility later that day so I could begin on Monday. I knew I had to start the program within 72 hours of that intake appointment and waited the weekend for their call

Sun behavioral was very helpful in stabilizing my mental an physical behaviors. The group's were very beneficial with identifying defects in character and helped correct emotions that I had been covering up with drugs for most of my life.. I would highly recommend Sun behavioral if anyone out there is still suffering.

The staff were so helpful and welcoming and they do truly care for your safety and getting you better. Journeys start at the Sun, they dont end there. I know that if I ever feel bad again I can go back and am confident I will get the help I need.

My 15 year old son was a resident at this facility. They took great care of him during his moment of crisis. Will the front desk receptionist was extremely helpful and kind. Not to mention the smoothest operator when dealing with a high paced non-stop call center like front desk. There follow up associate Joy was also one of the nicest people I've spoken to. In my hour of greatest need these folks made a difference...
