Founded in 1994, Newport Bay Hospital (NBH), located in beautiful Newport Beach, California is operated as a 34 bed, locked, inpatient psychiatric hospital. We are a short term stay facility dedicated to the treatment of the adult/senior population. NBH accepts both voluntary and involuntary patients who have an acute psychiatric illness. NBH is licensed by the State of California, is LPS designated, and Medicare certified. Our program philosophy is based on an approach whereby patients with primary psychiatric diagnosis actively engage in treatment with the guidance of their Physicians and the treatment team. Through this experience, patients learn to better understand themselves and their opportunities for improvement. This process provides patients to practice new coping skills to manage their lives, based on their physical, developmental, social, psychological, and spiritual needs. An intensive evaluation and diagnosis of acute, emotional, and behavioral problems such as mood disorders, dementia and psychosis will be provided. In addition, the hospital provides a comprehensive treatment program to patients experiencing medical conditions along with their psychiatric symptoms. The focus of the acute short term hospitalization is evaluation and stabilization. Discharge planning assistance is provided.
