Psychiatric Care Within a Full-Service Medical Hospital

LewisGale Behavioral Health is distinct in its structure and setting, functioning as a standalone psychiatric unit housed within a larger medical hospital. This connection allows for seamless coordination between behavioral and physical healthcare providers, which is especially important for patients with co-occurring medical conditions or who may require emergency medical attention during psychiatric treatment. Patients receive 24-hour supervision in an environment equipped for acute stabilization and clinical monitoring.

Services for All Age Groups, From Children to Seniors

The unit offers care for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Programming is adapted to the unique needs of each age group, with targeted services for young people experiencing serious emotional disturbance (SED) and older adults managing serious mental illness (SMI). This broad age range allows families to access care for multiple generations under one umbrella, with staff trained to support different life stages and psychiatric profiles.

Crisis Stabilization and Advanced Treatment Options

The facility is equipped to manage psychiatric crises, with on-site emergency services and suicide prevention protocols in place. For individuals experiencing severe symptoms or who have not responded to traditional interventions, LewisGale offers electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Other services include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), medication management, and structured group and family therapy.

Emphasis on Treating Serious Mental Illness

This facility is designed to support individuals with disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD, depression, and suicidal ideation. By focusing on complex psychiatric diagnoses, LewisGale Behavioral Health is equipped to handle intensive needs that might exceed the scope of standard outpatient or residential programs.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
