About St. Vincent’s Behavioral Health – Bridgeport
St. Vincent’s Behavioral Health is part of St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport, Connecticut. This Catholic hospital is one of the largest providers of mental health services in Connecticut. Their behavioral health services are nearby in their own building, giving you specialized focus for a variety of behavioral and mental health services including substance use disorder treatment.
You or your loved ones can get inpatient or outpatient treatments for any mental health challenge you’re facing. I appreciate that their psychiatric emergency department is available 24/7 for patients who are experiencing a mental health crisis. You’ll find this facility in a wheelchair accessible, single-story building in the Brooklawn/St. Vincent area of the city.
St. Vincent’s offers holistic inpatient care for adults, adolescents and children. Their team of nurses, psychiatrists, social workers, therapists and other behavioral specialists work together to provide a caring and supportive environment. Through a thorough evaluation they’ll create a care plan to suit your concerns and needs.
The outpatient offerings at St. Vincent follows a collaborative treatment model. They offer programs for youth and adults who have mental health and dual diagnosis disorders.
You can also access consultation services to address any developmental, emotional or behavioral challenges. Beginning with a psychiatric evaluation, medical experts give you an accurate diagnosis. Then, they’ll work with you and your family on an individualized treatment plan.
I like that St. Vincent also assists adults with substance abuse or mental health issues by connecting them with independent living opportunities. This allows patients to continue to get support from St. Vincent staff while having freedom to supportively re-enter the community.
