Oklahoma Psychiatric Care Center
Construction of the Oklahoma Psychiatric Care Center has begun in Tulsa, OK. The 106-bed hospital will replace the current Tulsa Center for Behavioral Health and will feature a 24-hour crisis response Urgent Recovery Center.

Who We Serve
The Tulsa Center for Behavioral Health (TCBH) is a state owned and operated inpatient psychiatric facility serving individuals ages 18 and older. TCBH provides quality psychiatric screening, assessment and treatment services. Individuals admitted to TCBH are determined to be an imminent danger to self or others, or not able to care for themselves due to psychiatric decompensation. Admission criteria as outlined by Oklahoma Statue 450:30-9-3.
Our Team
Our dedicated team of psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, therapists, social workers, case managers and trained support staff at TCBH make all the difference in quality care.

In addition to psychiatric services provided by employed medical staff, TCBH has affiliations with OU-Tulsa Department of Psychiatry and Oklahoma State University Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine residency programs. These affiliations not only allow for but ensure that services provided are on the forefront of psychiatric care.
