North Mississippi State Hospital is a 50-bed acute-care facility in Tupelo that provides treatment for mentally ill adult men and women in the northeastern portion of Mississippi. Operated by the Mississippi Department of Mental Health, it is the eleventh facility in the state's mental health network, positioned to expand access to a local continuum of care that supports treatment, recovery, and aftercare within residents' communities. Opened in April 1999, the hospital sits at the corner of Eason Boulevard and Briar Ridge Road and employs about 120 staff. The facility aims for a 14-to-21-day length of stay, with services spanning pre-admission, inpatient care, crisis intervention, and aftercare. It supports a statewide effort to provide psychiatric services closer to patients' homes and to coordinate with other providers to improve outcomes.
