Trusted Mental Health and Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment for Adults and Seniors in Columbus

Our Columbus behavioral health center is designed to serve adults and older adults facing a range of psychiatric conditions and acute symptoms. Whether someone is experiencing a first time episode or has lived with a condition for many years, our goal is to meet patients where they are—with dignity and respect. Through a structured inpatient program, we provide medical oversight, psychiatric care, and therapy in a calm and supportive setting.

We provide treatment for a variety of mental health conditions, including:

  • Anxiety Disorders: Excessive fear or worry can take a toll on physical and emotional health. We help patients learn to manage their anxiety with therapeutic techniques and medication support when needed.
  • Depressive Disorders: For those struggling with deep sadness, lack of motivation, or isolation, we offer evidence-based treatment that addresses both emotional and physiological symptoms.
  • Bipolar Disorder: Our team assists patients in navigating the highs and lows of bipolar disorder, working to reduce mood instability and improve daily functioning.
  • Psychosis and Delusional Thinking: Inpatient care allows us to safely stabilize patients who are experiencing hallucinations, paranoia, or disconnection from reality.
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Trauma doesn’t go away on its own. We provide trauma-informed care that helps patients process past experiences and reduce distress.
  • Suicidal Thoughts: When thoughts of self-harm arise, immediate intervention is essential. Our Columbus facility prioritizes patient safety, stabilization, and recovery.
  • Co-Occurring Disorders: Many patients face both a mental health diagnosis and a substance use disorder. We treat both conditions together, understanding how deeply they are linked.
