Focus

This center treats mental health conditions and co-occurring substance use. You receive collaborative, individualized treatment that addresses both issues for whole-person healing.

At Bronson Behavioral Health Hospital, patients in acute mental health crisis participate in a structured daily program designed to stabilize symptoms and support recovery. Each day includes a mix of individual therapy, group sessions, and medication management. Group therapy focuses on essential life skills, coping strategies, and medication education, while daily psychiatrist visits ensure each patient receives personalized care. A multidisciplinary team including psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, social workers, and dietitians collaborates to deliver comprehensive, compassionate support. Bronson provides inpatient treatment for adults who need intensive, 24/7 support for mental health or substance use challenges. Their care model is ideal for individuals experiencing severe symptoms, co-occurring disorders like addiction, or those whose home environment may not be conducive to healing. Patients get care in a safe and organized place, with a strong sense of support and community. If they are dealing with both mental health and substance use issues, they can get help for both at the same time. Each person gets personal attention from a team of doctors, therapists, and other experts who are focused on helping them get better. Bronson offers a dedicated Older Adult Program for individuals aged 65 and older facing conditions like depression, anxiety, dementia-related behaviors, or severe mood changes. With 24/7 support, this program includes psychiatric care, therapy, medication management, and therapeutic activities tailored to older adults’ cognitive and physical needs. The goal is to reduce symptoms, enhance daily functioning, and prepare patients for a safe return home or continued care in a supportive setting. The hospital’s environment is intentionally designed to promote peace and comfort, especially for older adults. With 24 secure beds, the setting features spacious, light-filled interiors, calming color palettes, and accessible accommodations like private or semi-private rooms and ADA-compliant bathrooms. Patients can enjoy inviting lounges, a modern dining area, a dedicated gym, and outdoor recreation spaces all aimed at supporting both mental and physical well-being.
