NeuroPsychiatric Hospitals runs inpatient facilities that treat patients with complex co-occurring psychiatric, neurological, and medical conditions. It uses an integrated care model with a multi-disciplinary team of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, and therapists to create individualized treatment plans. The campuses emphasize safety and can include sensory rooms to help regulate behavior for conditions like intellectual impairment, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. Patients are usually referred from emergency rooms or acute care settings, stay about 13–14 days to stabilize, and then return to their referring facility, with growth across Indiana, Arizona, and Texas backed by private equity.
