Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing a residential mental health facility is an important decision that often comes with many questions. We understand that seeking help for yourself or a loved one can feel overwhelming, and having clear information can make the process easier. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our services, admissions process, and what to expect during residential treatment.

What is residential mental health treatment?

Residential mental health treatment is an intensive level of care where individuals live at the facility full-time while receiving 24/7 support and structured therapeutic programming. Unlike outpatient therapy where clients attend sessions and return home, residential care provides a safe, therapeutic environment where clients can focus entirely on recovery without the distractions and stressors of daily life. This level of care is typically recommended for individuals with severe mental health conditions, those who haven’t responded to outpatient treatment, or those who need a higher level of support to achieve stability.

How long does residential treatment typically last?

The length of residential treatment varies based on individual needs, but most programs range from 30 to 90 days. Some clients may benefit from shorter stays focused on stabilization, while others with complex or co-occurring conditions may need extended care lasting several months. Our clinical team continuously assesses each client’s progress and works collaboratively to determine the appropriate length of stay that will provide the best foundation for long-term recovery and successful transition to lower levels of care.

Is Nashville Mental Health LGBTQ+ friendly and inclusive?

Yes, Nashville Mental Health is proud to be LGBTQ+ friendly and welcomes clients of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and backgrounds. We are committed to creating a safe, affirming environment where every individual feels respected and valued. Our team understands the unique mental health challenges that LGBTQ+ individuals may face and provides culturally competent care that honors each person’s identity and experiences.

Can I bring my pet to the residential facility?

Yes, we are a pet-friendly facility and recognize the important role that pets can play in emotional support and recovery. Many clients find comfort in having their beloved companion animals with them during treatment. We ask that you discuss your pet’s needs with our admissions team during the intake process to ensure we can accommodate your pet appropriately and maintain a safe, comfortable environment for all residents.

What should I bring to residential treatment?

You should bring comfortable clothing for daily wear, personal hygiene items, any prescribed medications in their original containers, and items that provide comfort such as photos or journals. We recommend leaving valuables at home and packing modest, appropriate clothing for a therapeutic environment. Our admissions team will provide you with a detailed packing list prior to arrival and can answer any specific questions about what is and isn’t permitted at our facility.

Does Nashville Mental Health accept insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans and are committed to making quality mental health care accessible. Insurance coverage for residential treatment varies depending on your specific plan, so the best way to verify your benefits is to contact our admissions team directly. We can perform a complimentary insurance verification to help you understand your coverage, out-of-pocket costs, and available payment options before you commit to treatment.
