About
Situated near the Bellemeade Walking Trail, Oceans Behavioral Hospital Bellemeade is a 48-bed facility dedicated to treating various mental health disorders. It offers both day and residential treatment options for issues such as anger, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia, self-harm, stress, trauma, and substance abuse, including alcohol and drugs, as well as co-occurring conditions. The center employs a wide range of therapeutic approaches, including one-on-one counseling, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), group sessions, medication supervision, relapse prevention, relaxation techniques, and 12-Step Facilitation. They have specialized programs for individuals aged 55 and older dealing with Alzheimer's, dementia, medication management, and other age-related difficulties. The psychiatric team at Oceans Behavioral Hospital reviews patient progress and medications on a daily basis.
Additionally, the STAR program at Oceans Behavioral Hospital Bellemeade provides crucial support to active-duty service members, veterans, and their families facing mental health issues stemming from combat stress or prolonged separation from loved ones. Family members of military personnel are encouraged to engage in group therapy alongside others experiencing similar situations. To participate in the STAR program, a referral from the Department of Defense (DoD) or the Department of Veterans Affairs is required.
Oceans Behavioral Hospital operates multiple locations across Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma, with many focusing on mental health challenges related to aging or military service, and an increasing number catering to adolescents' mental health needs. Several sites collaborate and share resources with one or two nearby facilities. The Bellemeade location partners with Oceans Behavioral Hospital Kenner and Oceans Behavioral Hospital Marrero, collectively known as Oceans Behavioral Health Greater New Orleans. Each of these three facilities offers the STAR program, though the other available programs and target patient demographics may vary.
