Torrance State Hospital

Torrance State Hospital welcomes you…

Welcome to Torrance State Hospital’s web page and an overview of our progressive treatment program focused on supporting individuals in pursuit of recovery and community living. Torrance, a public psychiatric hospital, is funded by the Department of Human Services through the Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, Bureau of Hospital Operations.

Torrance is nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Chestnut Ridge and located 50 miles east of Pittsburgh, just off Route 22. Certified by the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS), Torrance State Hospital (TSH) provides inpatient services for individuals with severe and persistent mental illness. The hospital serves individuals in three distinct services: (1) Civil; (2) Forensic, through the Regional Forensic Psychiatric Center (RFPC); and (3) Sexual Responsibility & Treatment Program (SRTP). This dynamic facility has a dedicated staff of professionals and non-professionals who offer hope for recovery which is based on an individualized plan of treatment through referral from county-based programs. As a partner in the public mental health system, Torrance achieves its mission through collaboration with individuals in treatment, county programs, providers, family members, advocates and significant others to return individuals to the least restrictive setting, in a supportive and restorative environment. Through multi-disciplinary teams, Torrance State Hospital successfully discharges individuals from an intensive hospital-based active treatment program staffed by licensed professionals to out-patient programs managed by county mental health professionals.
