About Saint Mary’s Behavioral Care – Waterbury
Saint Mary’s Hospital is a catholic, not-for-profit teaching hospital that’s part of Trinity Health of New England. It’s located in Waterbury, Connecticut and has served the Greater Waterbury community since 1909.
Saint Mary’s is a Level II trauma center with a pediatric emergency care unit and an inpatient behavioral health unit. This hospital has 347 beds and free parking.
They offer several assistance programs like charity and discounted care. Patients who need financial assistance are offered multiple payment options.
St Mary’s Hospital offers inpatient support for people experiencing urgent behavioral health needs. This could be related to mental illness, substance use disorder or other concern.
This unit is a secure unit with 24/7 supervision and nursing. Your treatment will be tailored to your needs but will always involve a compassionate approach to care. The goal of this unit is to support you to stabilize enough to return home and plan your next recovery steps.
I like that Saint Mary’s Chapel is open daily for prayer and reflection. They run a daily mass which is televised into patient rooms.
Saint Mary’s also provides an interfaith pastoral care team. They can support patients of any religious tradition or none at all. You can get personalized prayers, the catholic sacraments, end of life support as well as support as you work through fears or spiritual concerns.
I appreciate that a pastoral care team member is available 24/7.
