Covid -19 has caused a serious economic downturn and tremendous social changes impacting the mental health of all ages. This has resulted in an overall spike in suicide. In addition,
67% of people report higher levels of stress since the outbreak of COVID-19.
57% say they have greater anxiety since the outbreak.
54% say they are more emotionally exhausted.
53% say they feel sadness day-to-day.
50% feel they are more irritable.
42% report their overall mental health has declined.
With such impact on mental health it has become necessary for individuals to seek support for themselves and others. We are here for you 24-7. Making one phone call is all it takes to get the support needed. Call: (844) 319-0000 now.
What are we doing to combat COVID-19?
Mental health and addiction treatment should not be delayed, and we are taking every precaution possible while continuing to offer needed treatment in a safe way to you or a loved one.
Hospital for Behavioral Medicine is following CDC guidelines, as well as that of state and local public health departments.
Every patient, family member, and visitor who comes to our facilities is screened for COVID-19 with a Symptom Questionnaire and by having their temperature taken. This ensures that people with symptoms of COVID-19 are recognized promptly and actions are taken to guarantee that illness is not introduced or spread.
Staff and patients are monitored daily for COVID-19 symptoms and are screened with a temperature check as well as the Symptom Questionnaire and are asked to stay home if they are feeling ill. Mask wearing, hand hygiene, social distancing, and environmental deep cleaning continues to be top priorities for us and occurs on a regular basis 7 days a week.
How does this impact patients?
We are committed to high quality, compassionate care, and that will not change. We remain available 24/7 to screen and accept patients into all our inpatient and outpatient programs.

Notify staff if you have reason to believe you have been in contact with an infected person.
