Tower Behavioral Health

About Tower Behavioral Health

Tower Behavioral Health provides full-spectrum mental health care for adolescents aged 14 and older and for adults. The center treats a wide range of concerns, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, eating disorders, and situations where substance use occurs alongside other mental health challenges. Treatment options span inpatient care, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), and Assertive Community Treatment (ACT). One notable aspect of Tower is that it serves adolescents and adults through separate, age-appropriate programs designed to match each group’s developmental and clinical needs.

Care at Tower Behavioral Health is individualized and focused on the whole person. Each participant works with a tailored treatment plan based on their specific mental, emotional, and behavioral health needs. Therapies are built on evidence-based approaches, and supportive holistic activities—such as art, music, and movement-based therapies—are incorporated as well, particularly within the eating disorder program, to help individuals understand feelings, lower stress, and express themselves while they recover.

Inpatient services take place in comfortable units that include both shared and private rooms, all created to feel safe and calming. Residents follow a consistent daily structure, including meals prepared under the guidance of a dietitian, which is especially important for patients in the eating disorder program. The campus also offers therapeutic indoor spaces, outdoor areas for walking, and community lounges for downtime and relaxation. Support staff help coordinate admissions, transportation, and ongoing communication with families, so the transition into treatment feels organized and encouraging.

Tower Behavioral Health prioritizes long-term support through personalized aftercare planning. Discharge planning begins early to ensure patients are connected to the appropriate outpatient clinicians, local resources, and follow-up services. For individuals enrolled in the ACT program, support may continue for months or longer, including in-home and community-based assistance that helps limit future hospitalizations and builds stability over time. The overall aim is to protect progress, strengthen resilience, and support each person in thriving after leaving the center.
