Behavioral Health Services
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.

Inpatient Treatment Services
For patients in need of a brief hospital stay for stabilization
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.
Portsmouth Regional Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
Interdisciplinary Approach
Our staff includes empathic, experienced behavioral healthcare providers who work together as a team to give each patient the individualized care they need within a secure and supportive environment.
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
The Center for Behavioral Health Services at PRH offers an exceptionally trained and experienced team of professionals, including psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychiatric nurses and counselors, social workers, and related clinicians.
All Behavioral Health psychiatrists are Board Certified in their specialty. Social workers are Master's prepared.
The Center for Behavioral Health Services Facilities
The Center for Behavioral Health Services at Portsmouth Regional Hospital is a multi-generational unit serving adults and adolescents ages 14 and older. Built in 1987, our facilities offer comfort, security, and privacy for patients and their families.
Portsmouth Regional Hospital is a full-service medical-surgical hospital. Our services are quickly available should any medical emergency or complications arise during a patient's treatment.
The Center for Behavioral Health Services opens its doors to a myriad of 12-step, self-help support groups that are open to the community at large.
