About us
Harsha Behavioral Center is a freestanding acute care hospital established in August 2008. We have 81 beds for providing inpatient services to individuals needing 24-hour intensive psychiatric care. We serve children aged 3-12, adolescents aged 13-17, adults aged 18-54 and geriatrics aged 55 and older and have an average length of stay ranging from 5-10 days. Each age group is separated by their own individual units.
Our goal is to evaluate and stabilize the patient in a protective and nurturing environment so that effective treatment can continue on an outpatient basis in a less restrictive environment. Dr. Harshawat also provides care in facilities where he has no ownership interest.
