SUN Behavioral Is Here to Help

Updated: Dec 9, 2022

SUN Behavioral Delaware is a behavioral and mental health treatment center located in Sussex County, DE. Our facility offers a wide range of specialized care, including residential and day hospital services, for those living with mental health illnesses and substance use disorders. SUN Behavioral Delaware has developed specialized programs for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. At SUN Behavioral Health, our team of highly skilled and compassionate professionals is committed to improving the overall health and wellbeing of the people and communities we serve.


We have partnerships with hospitals, doctors, schools, and social service agencies to solve the unmet behavioral health needs that exist in neighborhoods across Delaware. Our number one priority is achieving positive outcomes for our patients and their families, from education about the recovery process to programs that save and enhance lives.


More than 43 million adults in the United States experience mental illness every year. Approximately 1 in 5 young people 13–18 (21.4%) will experience a serious mental disorder at some point during their lives. For children aged 8–15, it’s 13%.


You are not alone. If you or someone you love is struggling, we can help. SUN counselors are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help with everything from urgent situations to questions about our programs.

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.
