Set on a peaceful and wooded campus, Fairmount aims to offer a therapeutic environment where patients and families can begin lasting healing.

Dual Diagnosis

Fairmount's core strength is its inpatient co-occurring psychiatric and chemical dependency program for adults, integrating mental health and substance use treatment under one roof.

Care is delivered by a team spanning psychiatry, psychology and social work, nursing and internal medicine, with 24/7 nursing support.

The program includes detox, individual cognitive behavioral therapy and group therapy, psychiatric care and 12 step recovery.

Treatment focuses on coping skills development and addressing both the psychiatric and addiction related roots of each patient's struggles.

Trauma Informed and Adolescent Care

Fairmount also operates a women's unit offering gender specific, trauma informed care in a secure setting for discussing sexual trauma and domestic violence.

Adolescents ages 12 to 17 are served through dedicated programs, including a specialized girls program and an on site classroom facility.
