About Oceans Behavioral Health
Set in a historic community known for Cajun heritage, Oceans Behavioral Hospital Lake Charles offers care for adults through residential treatment or an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Services address anger, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia, self-harm, stress, trauma, alcohol and drug addiction, as well as co-occurring disorders. The center uses a range of evidence-based approaches, including individual counseling, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), group therapy, medication management, relapse prevention counseling, relaxation therapy, and 12-Step Facilitation. Oceans Behavioral Hospital also has a focus on adults age 50 and older, supporting conditions related to Alzheimer’s, dementia, medication management, and other age-associated concerns. In addition, its intensive outpatient program serves adolescents ages 13–17, encouraging healthy, positive lifestyle decisions. The psychiatric team reviews treatment progress and medications every day.
Oceans Behavioral Hospital operates multiple facilities across Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. Several programs concentrate on mental health needs related to aging or military experience, and more locations are expanding services for adolescents.
