We list 602 psychiatric hospitals across 39 states, using CMS data published July 2026.
Psychiatric hospitals provide inpatient mental health and behavioural care. Most do not operate a general emergency department, so the emergency wait times shown elsewhere on this site generally do not apply to them. If you are facing a mental health emergency, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911.
Hospital type from the CMS Hospital General Information dataset. States with fewer than three are not listed separately; those hospitals still appear in the main state directory. How this data works.
