Mount Carmel Behavioral Health provides acute behavioral health services for adults over the age of 18 in Columbus, Ohio, and the surrounding communities. Our highly skilled staff is committed to compassionate care that builds upon the inherent strengths of our patients and their families.
Accessing Our Services
Can a prospective patient make a self-referral?
We welcome individuals who are experiencing an acute mental health concern to contact our admissions department directly to learn more about our services. When you contact us, you will speak to a licensed admissions counselor to complete an assessment. Next, a physician will review the assessment and any other information provided to determine if Mount Carmel Behavioral Health is a good fit for the patient’s needs. Should it be determined that the individual would be best served in an alternate setting, our staff will work to ensure that an appropriate referral is made.
Making a Referral
How can I assist my patient in accessing Mount Carmel’s behavioral health services?
At Mount Carmel Behavioral Health, we are dedicated to maintaining strong partnerships with other providers in our community so that all patients have access to the care they need and deserve. Because we are an acute care and crisis center, many of our patients are referred to us by local emergency rooms. When a patient is referred by an emergency department, our admissions counselors will review their case and make an intake determination. All admissions are considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure that Mount Carmel Behavioral Health is able to meet each patient’s needs.
Referrals can also be made by healthcare professionals, community agencies, or other mental health care providers. If you have a patient in need, you can access our admissions department 24/7 by calling our main telephone number. From there, we’ll gather some preliminary information and initiate the admissions process in a streamlined fashion.
