About Regional Health System – Merrillville
Regional Health Systems — Merrillville Behavioral Health in Newburgh, Indiana, provides mental and behavioral health care services for children, teens and adults. They offer emergency support, inpatient treatment and outpatient treatment to help you address a range of challenges, including drug and alcohol addiction.
Their inpatient unit is for people who need an intensive level of care because they’re at risk of hurting themselves or others.
