The Inpatient Psychiatric Unit at Bryn Mawr Hospital is an acute care facility offering private psychiatric treatment in a secure, comfortable setting. Patients with a wide variety of psychiatric disorders are treated by a multidisciplinary treatment team. Our staff is trained to assess and treat most acute psychiatric illnesses, with the goal of helping the individual return to normal functioning and reclaim his or her life in the community.  Patients who are abusing alcohol or other drugs in addition to having a psychiatric disorder can participate in our Dual-Diagnosis Treatment Program.

Treatment Team
The treatment team consists of Board-Certified Psychiatrists and Internists, Registered Nurses, Mental Health Technicians, Licensed Social Workers, Certified Addiction Counselors, and Art and Recreation Therapists. With a patient’s permission, a patient’s family physician is advised of his or her admission and included in the discharge planning.
