About Loma Linda University
Loma Linda University Behavioral Medicine Center, known as the BMC, is the dedicated psychiatric and behavioral health hospital of Loma Linda University Health, located at 1710 Barton Road in Redlands, California. As part of one of Southern California’s largest academic medical systems, an integrated network of six hospitals and a physician practice corporation, the BMC carries the clinical depth, research backing, and Joint Commission accreditation that defines academic medicine. The center is part of a Seventh-day Adventist faith-grounded organization, with the broader mission of uniting healthcare, education, and research grounded in faith.
The BMC’s Substance Use Recovery and Wellness program treats alcoholism, drug addiction, and the mental health conditions that so often accompany them. The hospital offers medically managed detoxification, inpatient psychiatric stabilization, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs, providing one of the Inland Empire’s few complete behavioral health continuums under academic medical leadership. The Dual Diagnosis program is structured around a 12-step framework and includes chemical dependency education, relapse prevention, and anger management, with parallel attention to the underlying psychiatric diagnosis.
Clinically, the team treats anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, and substance use, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy, structured group therapy, and individual counseling. Care is delivered with the resources of an academic medical center, including coordination with Loma Linda University Health primary care and specialty services for patients with complex medical histories. American Sign Language services are available for Deaf and hard-of-hearing patients, and the program serves a broad spectrum of populations including veterans, pregnant women, seniors, men, women, and adults entering treatment through the court system.
The BMC accepts Medicare and TRICARE, two payers many private psychiatric programs decline, in addition to private insurance and self-pay. The 4.5 rating across 25 Google reviews reflects strong patient experience for behavioral health care, an area where ratings typically run lower.
