Treatment on a World Class Medical Campus
SUN Behavioral Houston is a psychiatric hospital housed in the Texas Medical Center, which is located in Houston, Texas. Texas Medical Center is the largest medical campus in the world and is at the forefront of life medicine with over 10 million patients in a single year on campus for a variety of different medical issues.
SUN Behavioral Houston is a 148-bed facility with a full continuum of care, including in-patient services as well as day hospital options. SUN Houston treats people dealing with different kinds of mental health and substance use problems. SUN Houston offers specialized programs specifically for children, adolescents, and adults.
In addition to the in-person service we offer on the Texas Medical Center campus, we also offer telehealth services for remote patients. Telehealth services are used for initial screenings and remote therapy. This service offers many conveniences such as accessibility for people with limited access to transportation, coordination of services, a larger community of care providers to choose from, privacy, and additional support for those managing a condition.
Medical and Psychological Approach to Care
At SUN Behavioral Houston, we know that no two patients have identical experiences, so why would we make their treatments identical? While each patient's treatment is tailored to their individual needs, it will include a combination of treatment options.
We offer a number of different therapies. We offer Group Psychotherapy, which helps patients to realize they aren’t alone while getting support, a sense of community, and suggestions to aid with recovery from those with similar experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the thought patterns and beliefs that lead to behaviors and teaches how to modify them. Recreational Therapy encourages patients to express themselves in creative ways and ease symptoms of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Pet Therapy reduces the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Recovery isn't just about therapy. We also offer other services that help our patients become their best selves. Constant nursing care, as well as psychiatrists and nurse practitioners, helps patients overcome the detoxification process. Life skills and healthy-living groups help prepare patients for life after recovery. Stress management helps patients learn how to reduce the stress in their life and deal with stressors without turning to harmful coping mechanisms. Mindfulness and problem-solving help patients to be self-aware and think critically to solve problems in their life after treatment. Yoga helps patients relax, and teaches them to take care of their whole selves.
