Belmont Behavioral Health Hospital

About this facility

Belmont Behavioral Health System, a cornerstone of Philadelphia’s mental health care since 1937, offers a full continuum of services for children, teens, adults, and seniors. Using an evidence-based approach, their treatments address anxiety, depression, PTSD, and co-occurring substance use disorders. Their specialized programs address a spectrum of mental health needs, offering acute care for both adults and children—featuring dedicated adult treatment tracks and the city’s only Children’s Crisis Response Center. At Belmont, each client receives a personalized treatment plan designed to foster healing through individual, group, and family therapy. Their comprehensive, evidence-based programs include advanced options like electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (DTMS) for those with treatment-resistant conditions. For children, care is both supportive and age-appropriate, incorporating creative therapies such as art, music, play, and recreation to nurture emotional growth and connection. Belmont provides shared accommodations that foster comfort and a welcoming sense of community, helping clients feel supported and less alone in their recovery. The campus is thoughtfully designed with spaces that inspire healing and connection, including inviting group therapy rooms, a modern gym, a children’s playground, and a tranquil healing garden. Set in a peaceful environment, clients are encouraged to reflect and focus fully on their path to wellness.
