Maryview Behavioral Medicine Center

Maryview Behavioral Medicine Center is a hospital based behavioral health and addiction treatment provider in Portsmouth, Virginia. They're operating within Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center.

They're a 102 bed facility that offers medically supervised detox, inpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient services for adults who have substance use and cooccurring mental health conditions.

What sets it apart is a dedicated inpatient track built for older adults.

Senior Adult Inpatient Psychiatric Care

Maryview runs a distinct senior adult inpatient psychiatric program, separate from its general adult unit. It's for older patients who are having depression, anxiety, memory disorders and dementia related behavioral problems.

This matters because behavioral symptoms in older adults can be tangled with cognitive decline and medical complexity, which a standard psychiatric unit is not always equipped to sort out.

For families in the Portsmouth area who are weighing where to place an aging relative in crisis, this narrows the decision.

Maryview is good for someone whose psychiatric needs are age specific and who benefits from care designed around memory and dementia issues instead of a one size fits all adult program.

It's not as suited for younger adults who are looking for substance focused treatment by itself.

24 Hour Crisis Stabilization In a Full Hospital Setting

Maryview Behavioral Medicine Center sits inside an operating medical center that is open 24 hours with an onsite emergency room. It has crisis stabilization for people in an active behavioral health emergency.

If you're in crisis, you can move into detox or inpatient psychiatric care. You could also have step down PHP and IOP within the same system. They're backed by medical resources most freestanding behavioral clinics don't have on hand.

Maryview serves adults across the Portsmouth and greater Hampton Roads area. They're operating within the Bon Secours Mercy Health network.

You should reach out if you want to learn whether Maryview's senior or crisis services match your situation.
