About Southcoast Behavioral Health
Southcoast Behavioral Health is a psychiatric hospital that provides inpatient treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Their inpatient programs serve children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, with specialized units designed to meet the unique needs of each age group. Through personalized care, group therapy, and skill-building interventions, clients find stabilization and a strong foundation for lasting wellness.
Southcoast’s approach focuses on helping clients build skills and strategies for continued progress in the months and years following their time in treatment. During a typical 5–7 day inpatient stay, clients take part in individual therapy, family therapy, and medication management. They also join process groups, where they share experiences with others, and didactic groups, where they learn about mental health topics.
Conveniently located along the state’s southern coast, and readily accessible from Cape Cod, Boston and Rhode Island, the Southcoast campus is a place of hope and healing. The 192-bed facility has an atmosphere of tranquility, while also providing space for safe recreation like the indoor gymnasium and courtyards with walking paths and a basketball court.

Southcoast appreciates the valuable role family plays in treatment and recovery, working to promote healing within families and prepare loved ones to offer ongoing support. Their social work team gathers client history, discusses family goals, and encourages families to meet with clinical staff to become part of the team and ensure a fluid transition home.
Southcoast delivers age-appropriate care for children and adolescents ages 5–17 who have behavioral health concerns that disrupt functioning at home, school, or socially. Personalized treatment plans and multiple daily group sessions help young clients in crisis stabilize so they can return home safely or step down to a lower level of care.
Southcoast’s geriatric program is a standalone inpatient unit staffed by experienced medical and mental health professionals who understand seniors’ unique needs. Clients receive individualized care for a variety of conditions, attending therapy sessions—individual, group, and family—focused on topics that support healing, connection, and improved quality of life.
