Admission for Care

Admissions are accepted 24 hours a day, and anyone may refer a potential patient for care, including family members, friends, physicians, psychologists and other mental health professionals, social workers, social service agencies and hospital emergency departments. Self-referrals are also accepted. Spring View Behavioral Health is contracted with Medicare and most other payers.

Family Involvement

We believe that family involvement enhances care, and we encourage family members to participate in the program as much as possible. Throughout the treatment plan, our social worker will contact you as needed; and we will work closely with you to create a discharge plan that includes the most appropriate living arrangements for your loved one.

We accept most insurances as well as self-pay.
