Touchette Regional Hospital’s Behavioral Health & Wellness Center offers both inpatient and
outpatient care for people struggling with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and mood disorders. Their programs include adult and adolescent
intensive outpatient programs, inpatient psychiatric care, and medical stabilization for substance withdrawal. With nearly 60 years of service, they are a trusted resource in the St. Louis and Southern Illinois region.
Touchette’s care model focuses on treating the whole person using evidence-based therapies like group psychotherapy,
cognitive behavioral therapy, activity therapy, and family counseling. These therapies help patients build coping skills, manage symptoms, and reconnect with their strengths. A team of therapists, nurses, psychiatrists, and psychologists work closely together to create personalized treatment plans for every client.
The center features an open, welcoming layout with natural light, private phone spaces, and self-service refreshment areas to support healing and independence. A high staff-to-client ratio ensures each person gets focused attention. Unique programs include adolescent mental health care, geriatric psychiatry, and 24-hour medical support for
detox, all designed to meet the needs of different age groups and life situations.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Touchette Regional Hospital provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
