About Oceans Behavioral Hospital Waco
Oceans Behavioral Health Hospital Waco has the experience needed to empower adults at any stage of life to recover from a mental health crisis. We provide inpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs for adults. We also have an intensive outpatient program designed specifically for adolescents ages 13 to 17. We treat mental health conditions using evidence-based therapies and medication management tailored to meet the client’s individual needs.
We have our roots in geriatric care, which is why we believe in comprehensive, holistic care. We instill clients with the tools to take care of their bodies as well as their minds through proper nutrition and other holistic strategies, like yoga.
Meeting Waco’s Mental Health Needs
Mental health is still a growing concern throughout Waco and the rest of McLennan County. Data shows the suicide rate in the county is 15.04 per 100,000, which is above the Texas average of 13.26. The same study shows that 22.6% of residents report experiencing depression, slightly higher than the Texas state average of 21.5%Â
These statistics demonstrate how crucial local mental health services are. At Oceans Waco, we’re here to meet local needs with care that’s both clinically sound and truly rooted in community connection.
Our behavioral health treatment programs are focused on healing and long-term recovery with the goal of helping patients return to their lives. Whether our patients are experiencing common mental health challenges like depression and anxiety or the unique and more complex challenges associated with aging, our staff treats every patient with dignity and respect on their path to healing.
In addition to our inpatient, outpatient and partial hospitalization options, we also provide specialized treatment to active duty military, veterans and their loved ones through our STAR (Support Through Active Recovery) Military Program.
