About The Harris Center NeuroPsychiatric Center
The NeuroPsychiatric Center (NPC) is an important unit within The Harris Center, focused on delivering urgent psychiatric assistance to people who are going through serious mental health emergencies. Situated at the Harris Health Ben Taub Hospital by the Houston Zoo, it supports patients with a variety of conditions, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, suicidal thoughts, major depression, and other acute psychiatric situations. The facility provides crisis response around the clock, ensuring that when someone is in distress, they can receive prompt care and stabilization.
In addition, the NPC offers psychiatric treatment for children, giving younger patients access to age-appropriate care in a secure, supportive setting. Alongside emergency services, the center also has programs for substance use recovery, including detoxification and care for substance use disorders. For individuals dealing with addiction, the NPC provides medical detox, helping them withdraw from substances under medical and psychiatric supervision to promote safety and stability.
With an on-site pharmacy, patients can receive required medications without delay, supporting both mental health treatment and recovery from substance use. Whether a person is experiencing a psychiatric crisis, needs urgent medication, or requires follow-up stabilization after a substance-related incident, the NPC provides coordinated, comprehensive care. By bringing emergency mental health services and substance use recovery together, the center significantly contributes to the well-being of the Houston community.
