Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital provides acute psychiatric services in a secure and nurturing environment for ages 12 and older who are in a crisis. With confidentiality and sensitivity, our inpatient programs allow patients to begin treatment in an intensive and secure environment where they are cared for 24 hours a day by our team of compassionate and highly trained professionals.
