Hospital-Based Behavioral Health
Huntsville Hospital's Behavioral Health program delivers inpatient treatment for adults and seniors facing psychiatric crises, addiction and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Treatment begins with an assessment in the Emergency Department, followed by admission to an inpatient unit where patients participate in daily therapeutic groups, goal-setting sessions, relaxation techniques and occupational therapy. This hospital setting allows for seamless coordination between psychiatric, addiction and medical teams to address both immediate stabilization and underlying conditions.
