Located on the campus of Northwest Texas Healthcare System in Amarillo, Texas, we offer treatment services for children, adolescents, adults and seniors.

Treatment for Military and First Responders

NWTHS Behavioral Health is honored to serve those brave individuals who serve the public every day. The Uniformed Services Program offers services for active duty military, veterans, law enforcement, fire fighters, emergency medical technicians and uniformed first responders who work in dangerous situations, including some healthcare professionals and those who work in security.

Our Approach

Each person’s treatment is overseen by a team of licensed mental health professionals including psychiatrists, clinical social workers, master’s prepared licensed counselors, certified recreational therapists and psychiatric nurses. Treatment is designed to provide security and structure while simultaneously finding crisis resolution, developing self-awareness, learning coping skills, improving social skills and promoting patient responsibility and autonomy.

The goal of treatment is to teach patients to better manage their emotions, resolve grief over past traumas, express feelings, improve relationships and live their lives with purpose, direction and fulfillment.
