About us

Highland Hospital is a distinguished psychiatric facility located in Charleston, West Virginia, providing comprehensive treatment for adults and children over the age of 10 who are dealing with mental health issues, addiction, and dual diagnoses. With a strong commitment to quality care, Highland Hospital offers both psychiatric inpatient and residential detox programs, ensuring that patients receive the specific type of support they need.

The hospital’s inpatient units cater to individuals requiring acute psychiatric care, providing a secure environment where any potentially harmful objects are removed to prevent self-harm or harm to others. This unit is highly structured to ensure patient safety and promote healing. On the other hand, the residential detox program is designed for those who need around-the-clock support for addiction but do not have acute psychiatric needs. This program offers a less restrictive environment while still maintaining strict rules to promote sobriety and recovery.

Highland Hospital’s accreditation from the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the Joint Commission underscores its commitment to meeting high standards of care. These certifications assure patients and their families that the facility adheres to best practices in healthcare and addiction treatment, providing a trusted environment for recovery.

Despite the hospitalโ€™s esteemed credentials, it is important to note that it has received several negative reviews, particularly concerning its children’s units. However, there are no specific reviews addressing the detox or substance use programs, which may reflect a different aspect of patient satisfaction.

Serving the West Virginia community for over sixty years, Highland Hospital has been a cornerstone in providing quality mental health care in a safe and supportive environment. The hospitalโ€™s services for children, adolescents, and adults are personalized and grounded in evidence-based approaches proven to assist those with mental or behavioral health disorders. The staff at Highland Hospital are not only experts in their fields but also exhibit the compassion necessary to make significant and lasting improvements in the lives of those they serve.

Highland Hospital’s dedication to improving the total wellbeing of its patients is evident in its comprehensive range of services and its longstanding presence in the community. By offering tailored, evidence-based treatments, the hospital effectively partners with each individual to achieve meaningful and lasting changes in their quality of life.
