Lake Behavioral Hospital has treated patients suffering from mental health disorders such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, and other mental health illnesses since it opened its doors in March of 2018. Our mission is to provide the utmost care to those who need it, through various inpatient care & outpatient services. We are honored to provide behavioral health resources to our community.
The need for mental health facilities continues to grow in the United States, as approximately 56% of American adults with a mental illness do not receive treatment. This is also true when looking into mental health treatment for teenagers/children, as suicide rates as the 2nd most common form of death for those ages 10-34 in the United States in 2016.
At Lake Behavioral Hospital, it is our duty to help those who are struggling, if you or a loved one is experiencing a mental health crisis, please call us at (855)990-1900 to speak with a mental health care professional.
24/7 Access
