About Southcoast Behavioral Health Hosp
Southcoast Behavioral Health Hospital is a Joint Commission-accredited inpatient facility located at 581 Faunce Corner Road in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, with a capacity of 192 beds and around-the-clock operations. Positioned in Bristol County and serving adults across Southern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the hospital functions as a dedicated behavioral health and substance use treatment center — one of the larger inpatient options in the region for individuals who need medically supervised care.
The facility provides two primary levels of care: medical detox and residential treatment. Medical detox is the entry point for patients requiring withdrawal management under clinical supervision, and the program operates 24 hours a day. Following detox, residential treatment offers continued inpatient care in a structured setting. Typical length of stay runs five to seven days, giving families and individuals a concrete timeframe when making urgent placement decisions.
Southcoast Behavioral Health addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis — meaning patients dealing with both a substance use condition and a mental health diagnosis such as trauma or PTSD can receive integrated treatment within the same facility. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is among the therapeutic methods used. The hospital also maintains a dedicated 24-unit dual diagnosis program for adults 18 and older, a specialized track that sets it apart from general detox-only programs.
The hospital serves a notably broad range of populations, including veterans, pregnant women, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, and individuals requiring HIV/AIDS support or deaf and hard-of-hearing accommodations. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance through carriers such as Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tufts Health Plan, and United Behavioral Health, as well as self-pay.
