At BayPointe, adults in psychiatric crisis receive evaluation and crisis stabilization. The program focuses on stabilizing psychiatric symptoms and preventing psychiatric commitment. Adults admitted to BayPointe have exhibited life-threatening, destructive or disabling behavior or symptoms requiring 24-hour monitoring and assessment. Each patient completes a psychiatric diagnostic evaluation and receives 24-hour clinical care for an estimated stay of three to seven days. The focus is on returning patients to their homes or to the least restrictive level of care as quickly as possible, with comprehensive aftercare plans.

BayPointe Adult Hospital provides beds for individuals involuntarily admitted for evaluation. Following the evaluation, our professional staff makes a recommendation to the Mobile County Probate Court regarding the patient’s need for involuntary commitment or treatment in a less restrictive setting.

The hospital is licensed by the Alabama Department of Public Health and accredited by the Joint Commission.
