About Ascension Saint Thomas Behavioral Health Hospital
Ascension Saint Thomas Behavioral Health Hospital is a 90-bed facility offering age-appropriate care for adults and seniors struggling with behavioral health and co-occurring addiction concerns. They provide inpatient, virtual and on-site day treatment, and intensive outpatient programs to support clients at various stages of recovery. Their experienced caregivers emphasize collaboration throughout the treatment process so clients feel encouraged to actively participate in their own healing.
Benefit from Connection and Accountability
Ascension combines traditional and experiential therapies to help clients reach their goals. Clients meet with a therapist or social worker multiple times per week for individual sessions. Group therapy explores topics like boundaries, relationships, stress, and communication, offering space to connect and grow. Family sessions, expressive therapies, and mindfulness practices round out care. With regular progress checks and aftercare planning, clients gain tools and support for continued healing beyond treatment.
Heal on a Campus Built for Psychiatric Wellness
Ascension’s state-of-the-art hospital in Nashville’s MetroCenter neighborhood offers convenient access for nearby communities. Geriatric-friendly accommodations, semiprivate inpatient rooms, and separate quiet and active spaces support client healing. For wellness and connection, clients benefit from outdoor areas with a walking track, basketball court, and picnic tables, plus an indoor gymnasium. An off-unit café serving three meals daily adds comfort and normalcy to the recovery experience in a safe, structured setting.
Leave Treatment with a Plan
Aftercare planning at Ascension is a collaborative process involving their care team—physicians, social workers, and nursing staff—as well as the client and, when appropriate, a support person. Tailored discharge plans include referrals to step-down programs or other providers. They also follow up within 72 hours of discharge, helping clients transition smoothly while continuing their healing journey with support and intention.
