Mental health and wellness
Mental health is just as important as physical health. It includes your emotional, psychological and social well-being. With the right diagnosis and treatments, you can get what you need to live as healthy and happy a life as possible.
Mental health services in Richmond
Our mental health specialists are here to support your mental health journey.
At Parham Doctors’ Hospital, a campus of Henrico Doctors’ Hospital, we address all aspects of your wellness — from your physical health to your family environment. We offer help for depression, anxiety, substance abuse and other disorders.
Our mental health care services
Every person's mental health challenges and lifestyles are different, so we offer a variety of therapies and formats for treatment.
Inpatient behavioral health services
Our inpatient services are designed to provide intensive treatment to voluntary and involuntary patients who are 18 years old and older. Using a patient-centered approach to care, we use the expertise of a team of professionals with varied specialties to support recovery and the learning of coping strategies in times of stress.
Inpatient treatment plans
Your physician-led care plan may include:
- Active psychiatric treatment with 24-hour access to a psychiatrist
- Medication administration and monitoring for patients
- After-care plans to address post-hospitalization needs
- Collaborative care with your community providers during and after the course of treatment
Outpatient partial hospitalization program (PHP)
We provide short-term mental health services for adults, including our PHPs for adults. This allows access to an intensive outpatient treatment setting for patients struggling with daily routines due to anxiety, depression or other mental health conditions.
PHP may be appropriate for you if:
- You could benefit from intensive mental health support and psychiatric evaluation
- You need a gradual transition from an inpatient stay
- You need more structure but do not require inpatient treatment
- The program also provides flexibility for providers who wish to directly admit to the program.
To learn more about our adult PHP, please call us at (804) 672-4380.
Substance abuse PHP (SA-PHP) components
Our treatment program is designed to create positive changes in the home and social settings by recognizing underlying factors that may be contributing to the issue.
We accomplish this via services and interventions including:
- Daily progress meetings between the patient and staff to identify symptoms and goals
- Discharge planning and resource identification
- Family meetings to provide education on creating a healthy support system
- Individualized, self-directed assignments focused on relapse prevention, self-discovery and insights into behavior
- Meetings with assigned clinicians to identify strengths, needs and available support
- Medication, as appropriate, and health education
- Patient-centered goal setting and treatment planning
- Psychiatric evaluation
- Structured group therapy sessions focused on education, awareness and coping strategies
This program operates Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 3:00pm.
Intensive Outpatient Program
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a secondary step-down program for individuals, providing intensive support and therapy, 3x/week for 3 hours a day; allowing them to continue living at home and tending to their daily responsibilities. It bridges the gap between inpatient and outpatient care, offering a flexible and highly supportive solution. The program runs longer, offering more opportunities for patients to meet individualized treatment goals, build a support network, and link to community.
IOP may be appropriate for you if:
- You could benefit from intensive mental health support and psychiatric evaluation
- You need a gradual transition from PHP to individual outpatient providers, including more structure and increased support
- You need a higher level of care but need more flexible time to manage responsibilities at home, school, and/or work.
This program operates Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00am to 12:00pm.
To learn more about our adult IOP, please call us at (804) 672-4380.
Parham Outpatient offers treatment with staff experienced in specialized population needs including managing trauma related symptoms, crisis stabilization, substance use, perinatal mental health, neurodivergence, and LGBTQ+ specific care.
Direct admission to the Center for Emotional Growth
Our process for direct admission is designed to be easy for providers looking for timely admission of voluntary patients into our mental health units.

Once a member of our mental health assessment team confirms a patient is "medically clear," stopping in the emergency room (ER) may not be necessary. However, a COVID-19 testing requirement will be discussed upon inquiry.
For admission requests, please call us at (877) 886-7026.
For outpatient requests, please call (804) 672-4380.
