Inpatient Psychiatry Hospitals

In most cases, the patient is admitted to an inpatient hospital by first going through an area emergency room (CHOP or Bryn Mawr Hospital are our top recommendations). The patient often doesn't have any say in which inpatient hospital they are admitted to. There are numerous inpatient options in the region.
