Henry Ford Behavioral Health Hospital

Henry Ford Behavioral Health Hospital is located just northwest of Detroit in West Bloomfield, Michigan, allowing us to serve individuals from across the state. Our team of professionals offers personalized care for patients who are suffering from mental health conditions, like anxiety and depression.

We can also provide treatment for individuals who are suffering from co-occurring concerns, such as addictions, eating disorders, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs), and dementia.

Through comprehensive support, we aim to address each patient’s unique needs and empower them on their path to better health.

Inpatient programming is a short-term treatment option for individuals who are facing acute mental health concerns. The average length of stay in this program is seven to 10 days, but the actual duration may vary based on each patient’s individual needs.

At our hospital, our staff provides support and guidance to help patients manage their symptoms and enhance their emotional well-being. Our goal with our inpatient programs is to help individuals gain the tools and skills they need to transition to a lower level of care or return home.

Patients can take part in a range of therapies, like:

• Individual therapy: Tailored sessions, conducted by a licensed social worker, where patients can talk openly about challenges they are facing
• Group therapy: Daily group sessions, offering a safe space where individuals can share experiences, learn coping strategies, and improve communication skills
• Family therapy: Customized sessions, allowing patients to address family dynamics and build healthier relationships
• Experiential therapy: Daily activities, including art, music, and recreation therapy, fostering creative expression and self-discovery

In addition to therapy, patients may receive medical support, such as:

• Basic medical care: Services provided by family medicine doctors and nurse practitioners (NPs)
• Medication management: Consultations conducted by psychiatrists and medication monitoring from nurses
