Whether it is for a relative, a friend, or yourself, the decision to seek
help during a crisis can be difficult. At Shannon Behavioral Health Services,
we are committed to a philosophy of care which preserves the dignity and
integrity of each patient.
Our specialized center is a 22-bed regional inpatient psychiatric facility
that provides comprehensive mental health services for adults and senior
adults experiencing emotional or behavioral problems. We strive to stabilize
the patient in crisis, diagnose the disorder, and develop an individualized
plan that meets each patient’s needs. Our goal is to help each patient
return to the highest quality of life possible in a secure, comfortable,
and therapeutic environment.
