Ascension Saint Thomas Behavioral Health Hospital

Ascension Saint Thomas Behavioral Health Hospital is a 90-bed facility dedicated to providing age-appropriate support for adults and seniors facing behavioral health issues and co-occurring addiction challenges. The hospital offers a variety of treatment options, including inpatient care, virtual services, day treatment, and intensive outpatient programs, catering to the diverse stages of recovery. Their skilled staff prioritize teamwork throughout the therapeutic journey, empowering clients to take an active role in their recovery. The center integrates both conventional and innovative therapeutic approaches to help clients achieve their objectives. Individuals participate in multiple weekly sessions with therapists or social workers. Group therapy delves into important subjects such as boundaries, relationships, stress management, and effective communication, fostering connections and personal growth. Additional elements of care include family sessions, expressive therapies, and mindfulness techniques. Regular evaluations and aftercare planning equip clients with strategies and resources for sustained recovery post-treatment. Situated in Nashville’s MetroCenter neighborhood, Ascension boasts a modern hospital facility that is easily accessible to surrounding areas. The design includes accommodations that are senior-friendly, semiprivate inpatient rooms, and designated quiet and active areas to enhance recovery. Clients can enjoy outdoor amenities like a walking track, a basketball court, and picnic tables, as well as an indoor gymnasium for physical activity. An on-site café provides three nutritious meals daily, adding comfort and a sense of normalcy to the healing process in a secure and supportive environment. At Ascension, aftercare planning is a shared effort involving the care team—comprising physicians, social workers, and nursing staff—as well as the clients and, when suitable, a support person. Customized discharge plans may include referrals to transitional programs or other service providers. The team also conducts follow-up outreach within 72 hours following discharge to assist clients in transitioning effectively while continuing their recovery journey with support and purpose.

The center focuses on addressing mental health disorders alongside substance use challenges. Here, you will benefit from personalized and cooperative care that targets both areas for comprehensive recovery.
