For immediate support for a mental health emergency, please visit the “Help Now” page.
Discuss with your mental health providers (if you have any). This can also include a primary care physician. Discuss the options available for getting more support (including partial hospitalization, residential, etc.) and ask for recommendations for inpatient facilities.
The following resources are a helpful starting point for finding inpatient facilities near you.
FindTreatment.gov: a website for locating treatment facilities near you. In some cases, you may be able to directly admit through a referral from a mental health provider. Many psychiatric facilities will only admit after a person has been admitted to the emergency room.
NAMI Affiliate: contact an affiliate at your local National Alliance on Mental Illness for free guidance with finding inpatient programs.
