Take the first step on your journey toward better health.
Good health depends on more than your physical well-being. It requires wellness in body, mind and spirit. Behavioral Health focuses on ensuring you receive the right care for all three aspects of wellness. Through a combination of services, we help patients address their medical, emotional, social and spiritual needs and learn to make healthy choices.
We offer state-of-the-art care for all types of behavioral illness and substance use disorders. And it comes with a human touch. We aim to provide nonjudgmental care and create an environment the promotes healing and restoration. You can count on us for care that’s tailored to you or your loved one’s needs and delivered in a way that helps put you at ease and make you comfortable. Our services are available to people 18 years of age and older.
Behavioral illness should not make anyone ashamed or embarrassed. It is an illness, like heart disease or diabetes, and you should not suffer in silence. The important thing is to seek treatment. With the right care, anyone can manage behavioral illness. And you or your loved one can go on to live a fulfilling, happy life.
Signs and symptoms of behavioral illness or disorder may include:
If you recognize these signs and symptoms in yourself or others, contact us or your primary care doctor. We’re here to help.
We offer both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services. Care is provided at Beverly Hospital and our satellite locations at BayRidge Hospital and Addison Gilbert Hospital.
Our inpatient behavioral health programs provide diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of all types of psychiatric disorders. We also provide care for people with co-existing behavioral health and substance use disorders. Most admissions come through our emergency department.
Treatments we provide include medication and talk therapy. We also offer electroconvulsant therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program operates from Beverly Hospital’s Leland Unit and BayRidge Hospital. The program offers short-term day programs and group therapy. It’s intended for patients transitioning from the hospital back into the community. It may also be helpful for people hoping to avoid hospital admission or dealing with a crisis.
The support of others in a similar situation can be invaluable to the healing process. To assist with this, we offer a variety of support groups. These include groups for people dealing with specific health challenges, such as Overeaters Anonymous. But help is also available through groups like Learn to Cope. This program is designed for parents, family members and caregivers of people addicted to opioids and other drugs.

Our Addiction Recovery Program is designed for people with alcohol and drug addiction. To be admitted to the program, you must require medically supervised detoxification. You also qualify if you have a substance use disorder in addition to a major psychiatric illness.
Our Compass Program provides treatment for pregnant and parenting women with a history of substance use disorders.
