The Leland Inpatient Adult Psychiatric Unit at Beverly Hospital provides specialized care to adults 18 and older with psychiatric needs, as well as patients experiencing non-acute medical complications at the same time as their psychiatric symptoms.

Care components include diagnostic evaluation, medication evaluation and management, individual and group therapy, and aftercare planning. When appropriate, patients can receive Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), a treatment that involves brief electrical stimulation of the brain while the patient is under anesthesia. ECT is used most commonly when severe major depression or bipolar disorder has not responded to other treatments.
