the tulsa center for behavioral health (tcbh) is a psychiatric hospital accredited by the joint commission, dedicated to delivering evidence‑based, patient‑centered care. Tcbh provides a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment that supports recovery and enhances quality of life for individuals and the community. The facility serves adults aged 18 and older who are experiencing a mental health crisis, with or without co‑occurring substance use disorders, and who are medically stable.

in response to the increasing need for mental health services in our community, tcbh is being replaced by a new facility, the oklahoma psychiatric care center (opcc). Situated in the osu academic medical district in downtown tulsa, this modern psychiatric hospital will feature 106 inpatient beds, an expanded residency program, and an enhanced range of behavioral health services. Construction of the opcc is currently in progress.
