At EastPointe, we provide hope and healing for children and adults in need of psychiatric care. Located in Daphne, Alabama, our hospital welcomes patients from across the region; including nearby cities, counties, and other states.

Admissions

• No referral needed: Many families reach out to us directly, but we also accept referrals from hospitals, emergency departments, therapists, and physicians.
• Voluntary admissions: If you or your loved one is seeking care, call AltaPointe’s Access to Care line. Our team will listen, provide a phone assessment, and guide you through the admissions process. The average stay is 7–9 days.
• Involuntary admissions: When a higher level of support is needed, our staff works with the probate courts of Mobile, Baldwin, and Washington counties to recommend the best treatment plan. The average stay is 14–20 days.

Insurance

EastPointe accepts all major insurance plans and Medicare, so families can focus on what matters most, getting the right care.

After admission

Every patient at EastPointe receives a full psychiatric evaluation and 24-hour clinical care. Our goal is to help patients return home — or to the least restrictive level of care — as quickly and safely as possible, with a strong aftercare plan in place.

Our care team includes psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, recreational therapists, psychiatric residents, certified nursing assistants, and behavioral health staff — working together with patients and their families. Family therapy and physician meetings are available upon request. We also consult with primary care providers when needed to ensure coordinated care.

Psychiatrists meet with patients every day to evaluate progress and manage medications. Patients also take part in individual, group, and recreational therapy to build skills and better understand their illness.

EastPointe offers secure outdoor spaces for relaxation and therapy. Patient rooms are semi-private, and the hospital’s calming design — with soothing colors, artwork, and comfortable furnishings — creates a warm, healing environment that feels far from institutional.

Discharge planning

Planning for discharge begins early in the treatment process. From the time of admission and after each interaction, our healthcare professionals work with the patient to ensure support services are in place prior to discharge. This may include medication monitoring, therapy, and substance use treatment.
