About Brentwood Hospital
Brentwood Hospital is the largest behavioral health hospital in Louisiana, operating since 1971 from a campus at 1006 Highland Avenue in Shreveport. Part of the Pavilion Behavioral Health System, the Joint Commission-accredited hospital provides both psychiatric and substance use treatment to patients from Louisiana, Arkansas, and Kansas, with care available for children as young as 4 and seniors through older adulthood.
Clinical care begins with acute inpatient hospitalization for patients in crisis, including medically supervised stabilization for substance use disorder. After inpatient stabilization, patients can step down into the partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient program, or general outpatient services without leaving the Brentwood system. Specialized programs exist for children ages 4-12, adolescents, adults, seniors, and military families, including veterans and active-duty service members.
The treatment model is built on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Patients learn the four foundational DBT skills (mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness) and apply them across substance use, mood, and trauma recovery. Trauma-informed care threads through every level, supported by mindfulness practice, yoga, art and music therapy, recreation therapy, and therapeutic environmental design throughout the inpatient units.
Brentwood Hospital accepts Louisiana Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private commercial insurance, self-pay, and state insurance plans. The 24/7 admissions line at 877-678-7500 (or 318-678-7500 locally) can begin pre-admission assessments for inpatient stays as well as program intakes for PHP, IOP, and outpatient services. The hospital also serves as a clinical site for an associated Psychiatric Residency Program, reflecting its role as a regional training center.
