Inpatient Behavioral Health

When you’re suffering, it can feel like life will never get better. Don’t believe the lie. With the right care, treatment and support, you or your loved one can get through the dark times to find hope and healing.

Adult Behavioral Health

We treat a diverse group of patients with a wide range of conditions and problems, including bipolar disorder, dual-diagnosis conditions, major depression and psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. Each patient’s care and treatment is tailored specifically for their needs, life experiences and issues.

24-Hour Monitoring and Treatment

The Barnes III Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit provides 24-hour care and monitoring for adults aged 18 and older. This unit provides the most intense level of treatment for mental health and dual-diagnosis conditions, including danger of suicide or other self-harm.

Follow-Up and Support

As part of Bristol Health Network, we can ensure you have the follow-up treatment and services you need. We offer outpatient behavioral health care through our off-site Counseling Center and also work with professionals and organizations throughout the greater Bristol community to ensure high-quality behavioral health support.

Family Involvement and Support

When a loved one is going through a dark time, the entire family is affected. We work closely with families—with respect for each patient’s wishes and privacy—to help them understand their loved one’s condition and treatment and to prepare them for life after their loved one is released.

Referrals and Insurance

Referrals can be made from community agencies, outpatient providers, home health agencies, families and managed care companies. Bristol Hospital participates in most insurance and Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) networks. Bristol Hospital is also Medicare and Medicaid certified. 

Senior Behavioral Health

Getting older brings a new set of life challenges and changes. If you or a loved one needs help, turn to a team that understands and specializes in serving older adults with dignity and respect.
