The NeuroPsychiatric Center (NPC) is a vital part of The Harris Center, providing emergency psychiatric care for individuals experiencing severe mental health crises. Located in the Harris Health Ben Taub Hospital near the Houston Zoo, the center treats a wide range of conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, suicidality, severe depression, and other psychiatric emergencies. It offers 24/7 crisis intervention, helping ensure that individuals receive immediate support and stabilization when they are in distress. The NPC also provides psychiatric care for children, ensuring that young patients receive specialized treatment in a safe and supportive environment. In addition to crisis care, the NPC offers substance use recovery services, including detox programs and treatment for substance use disorders. For those struggling with addiction, the center provides medical detox services to help individuals safely withdraw from substances while receiving medical and psychiatric support. The center’s on-site pharmacy ensures that patients have quick access to necessary medications, supporting both mental health stabilization and substance use recovery. Whether someone is facing a psychiatric emergency, needs immediate medication, or requires stabilization after a substance-related incident, the NPC delivers comprehensive treatment. By integrating emergency psychiatric care, substance use recovery, and ongoing stabilization services under one roof, the center plays a crucial role in supporting the mental health and well-being of the Houston community.
