About North Mississippi State Hospital – Tupelo
Located in Tupelo, Mississippi is the North Mississippi State Hospital. This facility is an acute care psychiatric hospital that serves men and women who need intensive and robust services for their Mental Health or co existing addiction use struggles. It’s a smaller sized facility with no more than 50 patients at any given time.
Though their behavioral health services largely target struggles with severe mental illnesses, the care team here is able to address underlying addiction struggles and you’re battling as well.
The services, which are offered in an inpatient setting, are rooted in evidence-based practices and are overseen by an integrative healthcare team to ensure you get the specialized care you need.
There are different levels of treatment available here and the type of treatment plan you’re on will determine what type of therapies and behavioral health services you’ll receive.
These different levels also determine how much independence you’ll have in the program. For example, the higher a level you are at, the more privileges you’ll enjoy including more unstructured leisure time and visitation with loved ones, among other services.
While this type of structure may feel rigid for some, many families have appreciated this structure as it allows their loved ones to focus on their recovery fully.
Although this is a state hospital, the care team here believes in the importance of continuing treatment even after you finish your program here. They take discharge planning very seriously here and your care team will start talking about what discharge looks like for you the day you arrive for treatment here. As you work through your treatment program, your discharge planning may change to accommodate your recovery needs.
