Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

Located just off Interstate 30 in Malvern, near U.S. Highways 67 and 270, this hospital treats adults with depression, anxiety, grief, psychosis, and substance use disorders (SUD). It offers both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health care. A Level IV trauma center, it stabilizes emergency patients quickly and links them to higher-level services when needed. Faith-based compassion supports people through crises, helping them rebuild hope and wellness with skilled, caring professionals. The team combines evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DTB), group and individual psychotherapy with activity therapy to support healing. They blend psychiatric medication when necessary with counseling and spiritual support from pastoral care. This balanced, caring approach addresses mind, body, and spirit, guiding adults toward emotional strength and resilience in a supportive, structured setting. Inpatient units serve a wide adult age range, including seniors and veterans with serious mental challenges and dual diagnosis needs. They support LGBTQ+, people with HIV, and those needing crisis intervention, suicide prevention, or case management. On-site amenities, from a café and gift shop to easy parking, invite calm and restoration. A long history of community trust since 1923, combined with modern stroke recognition highlights their commitment to healing every part of you.
