Henry Ford Behavioral Health Services is one of the nation's leading providers of comprehensive, cutting-edge mental health and substance abuse treatment services. We offer a full spectrum of behavioral health medicine; treating children and adults in everything from depression to more serious psychiatric diseases.

We offer help when and where it is needed-with 24-hour evaluation and referral services. We provide a full continuum of care, including acute hospitalization, and day hospitalization throughout Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties. Our highly specialized staff provides an exceptional level of patient-centered care.

Henry Ford's Department of Psychiatry is one of the largest academic mental health systems in the country and has won numerous awards for excellence in mental health and substance abuse services, including:

• Joint Commission's Earnest Amory Codman Award (2006)
• Gold Achievement Award of the American Psychiatric Association (2006)

The Henry Ford Medical Group has more physicians selected as "Top Docs" than any other hospital in metropolitan Detroit by America's Top Doctors. Behavioral Health Services has a long-standing presence in the community, and has been recognized time and again for its innovative award-winning care. Our Perfect Depression Care is the first in the country to implement a new approach to suicide prevention. We've achieved a dramatic reduction in patient's suicides, the largest decrease document in medical literature.
