Henry Ford Behavioral Health Hospital admitted its first patients in late January, the health system announced. The new hospital, located within the existing Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital campus, is designed to provide a warm, welcoming and healing environment for individuals needing acute behavioral health services.

The state-of-the-art 192-bed hospital was developed to address the growing need for accessible and evidence-based mental healthcare. It offers a full continuum of inpatient behavioral health services for adults, seniors and adolescents, including specialized treatment for acute symptoms of mood disorders, thought disorders and dual diagnosis/substance use disorders. With flexible treatment spaces and enhanced family visitation accommodations and located in an area known for its quiet and natural beauty, the hospital offers a compassionate, healing-focused environment for patients and staff alike.

The new hospital also serves as a destination academic site, helping to educate and train the next generation of behavioral healthcare providers, including psychiatry residents, medical students, and nurses. Built and operated through a joint venture between Henry Ford Health and Acadia Healthcare, this collaboration underscores a shared commitment to addressing the mental health crisis.

A cornerstone of the hospital’s treatment approach is dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), an evidence-based method that helps patients build self-awareness, manage emotions, and develop healthier responses to stress by addressing the whole patient—body, mind, and spirit.

Patients at the hospital have access to a variety of treatments and therapeutic activities, tailored to their individual needs. These include:
                 • Family therapy, providing opportunities for loved ones to participate in care
                 • Group therapy to build connection and shared understanding
                 • Individual therapy with psychiatrists and mental health professionals
                 • Physical activities to promote overall wellness, including an on-premises gymnasium
                 • Recreational therapy, including art, music, and pet-assisted activities
                 • Social skill-building programs to support long-term recovery
