Inpatient Behavioral Health Care Options in Texas
Texans who are seeking inpatient behavioral health care have three options: private freestanding behavioral health hospitals, departments within traditional hospitals and state-owned behavioral health hospitals.
The Highest Level of Behavioral Health Care
Behavioral health hospitals are dedicated to the highest level of inpatient and outpatient treatment, getting patients back to their families, work and favorite activities. The treatment spectrum often includes supervision by board-certified or board-eligible psychiatrists, intensive one-on-one and group therapies, medication management, family or caregiver involvement, pre- and post-discharge care planning and medical care continuum coordination.
The Entire Spectrum of Care
Texas’ freestanding private behavioral health hospitals are treating all Texans, from children to seniors. In addition, a significant percentage of patients are Medicaid beneficiaries.
