About this facility
Set within the small city of Abilene, Texas, near the Dyess Air Force Base, Oceans Behavioral Hospital Abilene is a wheelchair-accessible facility that treats conditions like anger, anxiety, bipolar, depression, grief, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia, self-harm, stress, trauma, alcohol and drug addiction, personality disorders, and co-occurring disorders. Their treatment methods include 1-on-1 counseling, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), group therapy, medication management, relapse prevention counseling, relaxation therapy, and 12-Step Facilitation. They specialize in treating clients 55+ with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other aging-related challenges.
Oceans Behavioral Hospital Abilene's treatment levels vary by age. For adults, they offer residential, day, and intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment. For children and adolescents 9 to 17, they offer residential and regular outpatient treatment.
Because of the military presence in Abilene, Oceans Behavioral Hospital Abilene offers mental health disorder treatment geared to active-duty military members, veterans, and family members. Challenges they address in their STAR military program include combat stress and long separation from close relationships. Family members participate in group therapy with other military families with similar experiences. To enroll in the STAR program, clients need to provide a referral from the Department of Defense (DoD) or VA.
Oceans Behavioral Hospital runs numerous locations throughout Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Mississippi. Many specialize in aging-related or military-related mental health conditions, and an increasing number treat mental health for adolescents. Some of the other locations are collaborations with other healthcare providers, such as Ochsner Health.
