Henry Ford Behavioral Health Hospital in West Bloomfield, Michigan, provides comprehensive care for adults age 18 and older who are suffering from mental health disorders and co-occurring concerns.

We offer a safe, structured environment where patients can receive personalized treatment to help them regain stability, develop coping skills, and build a foundation for lasting healing. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, the effects of trauma, or a substance use disorder, our staff is here to support you on your journey toward healing and wellness. 

Adult Inpatient Program Overview

We provide intensive inpatient care for adults who are living with mood and thought disorders, including major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and other related conditions. In a welcoming environment, patients can receive round-the-clock support to help them stabilize and focus on their mental well-being.  

The adult inpatient program at Henry Ford Behavioral Health Hospital is a short-term care option. While the average stay lasts seven to 10 days, the actual program duration depends on each individual’s needs. Our team works closely with every patient to evaluate their health history, goals, and current needs to determine the optimal length of stay. We strive to help each person make meaningful progress toward healing, supporting them in returning home safely or transitioning to a lower level of care. 

Every patient receives a personalized care plan that is tailored to their unique needs. Our programming typically involves a combination of medical care, medication management services, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions.  

Before receiving care, each patient completes a thorough assessment. This enables our team of professionals to select the therapeutic modalities that will provide the patient with the greatest benefit. 

Customized care plans may include: 

  • Basic medical care: Patients have access to 24/7 medical support as needed to address acute symptoms and ensure safety during their stay. Basic medical care is provided by family medicine doctors and nurse practitioners. 
  • Medication management: These services are provided daily on a case-by-case basis for individuals who take medication as part of their care plan. Our nursing staff monitors the effects of each patient’s medication and can adjust it as necessary, helping to alleviate symptoms and improve overall functioning. 
  • Individual therapy: One-on-one sessions with social workers provide a space for patients to explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping skills, and address personal challenges. Individual therapy is offered on an as-needed basis. 
  • Group therapy: Participating in group therapy allows patients to connect with others who are facing similar struggles, fostering a sense of community and support. Group sessions are led by compassionate social workers and offered daily. 
  • Family therapy: Involving family members in the healing process can help improve communication, understanding, and support systems, which are crucial for long-term healing. Family counseling sessions are facilitated by social workers and offered as needed. 
  • Experiential therapies: Our program includes experiential therapies, which promote self-expression and help patients explore their emotions in creative ways. Offered daily, these therapy sessions are guided by behavioral health professionals who specialize in experiential therapies like art, music, and recreation therapy. 

By taking a comprehensive and holistic approach, our dedicated staff aims to help patients stabilize and lay the groundwork for continued healing beyond their stay. We are committed to helping individuals reclaim their lives and stay on a path to wellness.
