About Fulton State Hospital
Fulton State Hospital in Fulton, Missouri, offers a broad scope of mental health services. Authorized in 1847, it is the oldest public mental health facility west of the Mississippi River. Primarily a long-term adult inpatient facility serving central and northern Missouri, the hospital offers specialized substance use programming for eligible adults.
Comprehensive Care for Complex Clinical Populations
Fulton State offers a wide range of specialized substance abuse treatment services, especially for individuals with severe and persistent mental or personality disorders. In fact, they are the statewide treatment center for individuals found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, providing maximum and intermediate security forensic services for eligible adults.
This means the staff are trained to manage clinically diverse and complex needs. My impression is that the extensive resources and long history of service at Fulton State make it a standout option for those needing long-term integrated psychiatric and addiction treatment.
Quality Care and Supportive Staff
Past clients praise the compassionate, professional staff, particularly considering the high-security, clinically challenging environment required of a forensic treatment center. Fulton State is accredited by The Joint Commission (TJC) and certified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which means you can use these funding options to access help.
