Behavioral Health Services

We provide a wide spectrum of inpatient behavioral health services including medically supervised detoxification.

Working closely with private physicians and therapists, the four area mental health centers and the NH Division of Mental Health, the Center for Behavioral Health Services at Portsmouth Regional Hospital is dedicated to providing quality psychiatric care to our community and surrounding areas.

Our Psychiatric Assessment and Referral Service (PARS) is available to individuals seeking psychiatric services, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Philosophy and Accreditation

Our comprehensive approach to behavioral and emotional healthcare coupled with our connection with community resources, assure patients the best chance for continued support and success. Patients in crisis are stabilized in our inpatient facility and then transition smoothly to other services in the community when they are ready for discharge.

Our goal is to return patients to a healthy living standard by tailoring treatment to the individual needs of each patient. This approach helps patients reestablish positive relationships, use new coping skills at home and work, and develop a stronger sense of self that will help them handle life's challenges.

Interdisciplinary Approach

Family members play an important role in each patient's treatment, and PRH recognizes this by offering meetings with families and assistance with after-care planning.

Highly Qualified Staff

All Behavioral Health psychiatrists are Board Certified in their specialty. Social workers are Master's prepared.
