Sacramento Behavioral Healthcare Hospital
SBHH Mission: Provide safe, trauma-informed, recovery-oriented inpatient psychiatric treatment that stabilizes acute symptoms, reduces risk, and supports discharge to the least restrictive level of care through integrated, interdisciplinary services. Program/Setting: Adult acute inpatient psychiatric hospital/unit providing 24/7 crisis stabilization, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, psychosocial assessment, safety planning, therapeutic group programming, and comprehensive discharge planning in collaboration with psychiatry, nursing, and case management. Population/Demographic: Adults (18+) experiencing acute psychiatric decompensation including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, severe anxiety disorders, and co-occurring substance use disorders. Many patients present with significant psychosocial stressors such as homelessness, limited support systems, legal involvement, and medical comorbidities. Admissions may occur on voluntary or involuntary status in accordance with state law.
Because this is a psychiatric hospital, we work with individuals who may exhibit a wide range of behaviors. At times, situations can become intense. We also serve patients from the community who present with various health conditions that must be taken into consideration. However, our staff are highly trained to manage situations that escalate, and each patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation so we are aware of any medical or behavioral factors that they may have.
