Behavioral Health Services at Emory Decatur Hospital

We offer services to diagnose and treat adults 18 years and older who are experiencing a mental health crisis. As part of Emory Healthcare, Georgia's most comprehensive academic health system, we have the resources to provide the state's highest-level care. This means our patients get exceptional communication and individualized care beyond what other hospitals can offer.

Our hospital has inpatient beds, inpatient and outpatient electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) services, ketamine infusions and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) services, an Outpatient Geriatric Psychiatry Partial Hospitalization Program, and an Adult Intensive Outpatient Program. Our team of physicians, nurses, licensed social workers, and licensed professional counselors work together to provide care for our patients' unique needs.
