Mental Healthcare Driven by Values
SUN Behavioral Delaware's mission is to partner with the communities we serve to solve the unmet needs of those who suffer from mental illness and substance use disorders.
We achieve this by focusing on our four core values: safety, teamwork, integrity, and compassion.
Our four values reflect the attitudes and behaviors that our employees determined to be essential to providing the best in top-quality and compassionate services. A company-wide nomination process led to the formation of our Values Committee, 15 people across three of our hospitals, who led the process to create SUN’s values. Our four values are at the core of what we do. Each value reflects behaviors that we hold ourselves to on behalf of our patients and their loved ones, as well as each other.
Customized, Compassionate Treatment
SUN Behavioral Delaware is proud to offer mental health and substance use treatment services that are customized to meet your specific needs in treatment. At SUN, our facilities offer a complete range of programs designed to promote health and recovery, and our teams work closely with referring physicians and therapists to ensure that patients receive coordinated care in a nurturing, healing environment. Our facility currently offers the following programs:
Adolescent Treatment Programs
Adult Mental Health Services
Adult Co-occurring/Substance Use Disorder
Adult Outpatient Services
Telehealth Services
Our outpatient program helps patients who may be transitioning from inpatient care as well as people just starting treatment. It also benefits those who need more intensive treatment than that offered by traditional outpatient programs. The outpatient care center at our Delaware location provides clinical mental health services to those in need.
Our outpatient treatment facility features two crucial services, a partial hospitalization program, and an intensive outpatient program. This allows us to provide unique options for counseling services that are customized to meet the needs of each patient.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): PHP cares for patients who may be transitioning from inpatient care. It is also a suitable fit for more intensive treatment which can prevent the need for hospitalization.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): IOP is for anyone who may be stepping down from PHP, but can still benefit from the support and structure of treatment. It is suitable for those who may need more intensive treatment than that offered in outpatient care.
We also offer outpatient telehealth programming remotely. These telehealth sessions offer quality care identical to our in-person outpatient treatment programs.
Treating Co-Occurring Disorders With Expertise
At SUN Behavioral Delaware, we offer a wide range of services to give you the tools you need to overcome mental health and substance use disorders.
SUN Behavioral’s clinical team will take a thorough history and decide if the patient struggles with co-occurring disorders. The complicated nature of co-occurring disorders makes treatment more challenging, which leaves these persons vulnerable to relapse and other adverse outcomes.
We place special emphasis on the treatment of co-occurring disorders. This is a situation that is marked by a person suffering from one or more mental health issues alongside addiction.
In Sussex County, 11% of citizens struggle with frequent physical distress, while 14% have frequent mental anguish. These facts show the need for treating co-occurring disorders that address mental health and substance use treatment. SUN behavioral has compassionate clinical teams ready to make sure you receive the best possible addiction treatment and behavioral health assistance.
