Mental Health Care Services

Sanford Behavioral Health offers a variety of programs, so you can get the level of treatment you need.

Inpatient care is medical care that happens in a hospital. We treat patients with severe symptoms that need to be monitored by health professionals.

Outpatient care is like a visit to your family doctor. Outpatient behavioral health care means patients come to a Sanford Health clinic to receive treatment and leave when the visit is complete.

Partial hospitalization programs are in between inpatient and outpatient care. You may participate in a PHP if you don’t need to be monitored 24/7 by health care professionals but need more comprehensive attention than outpatient care can provide. Patients receive treatment throughout the day and go home at night.

Virtual care offers convenient appointment options. Patients can connect with a specialist using their computer, tablet or smartphone Learn how to schedule an appointment or get care now.

Community-based care delivers services and resources to your home community.

You are not alone. When you need compassionate support, Sanford Behavioral Health is here for you.
