Get Help Now
When you or someone you love is struggling with their mental health, knowing where to turn makes all the difference. Decatur Morgan West provides inpatient behavioral health care for children, adolescents and adults in a safe, supportive and confidential environment. You’ll work with a multidisciplinary team using interactive, evidence-based therapies to stabilize and build the skills you need to move forward and we’ll help coordinate your outpatient care after you leave. If inpatient care isn’t the right fit for you or your loved one, we’ll connect you with outpatient referral options instead.
Our intake coordinators are available 24/7 to gather your information and help determine the right level of care.
- If you or a loved one is in crisis, call 256-973-4000 to speak with an Assessment and Referral Coordinator.
