Newswise — (Washington, D.C., October 1, 2013) .....The National Association of Psychiatric Health Systems (NAPHS) has published its 2014 Membership Directory. The directory is a comprehensive referral resource providing information on the nation’s behavioral healthcare systems.

The NAPHS directory is designed to help clinicians, admissions staffs, employee assistance directors, school counselors, nursing home staffs, librarians, legal system personnel, and others who must quickly identify sources of help for individuals with psychiatric and addictive disorders.

The directory provides the name, address, phone/fax, and officers (by name) of each behavioral health system. The facilities operated by each system are also listed; and they include specialty hospitals, psychiatric units in general hospitals, residential treatment centers, partial hospital programs, and outpatient centers. To help locate services in specific states, a geographical listing of facilities – including the name of the chief operating officer of each – is included.
