Care Through Community Partnership

At SUN Behavioral Delaware, our four core values are safety, teamwork, integrity, and compassion. 

By placing emphasis on these values, we’re able to accomplish our mission of creating partnerships with communities to solve the unmet needs of those who suffer from mental illness and substance use disorders.

Our values reflect the behaviors that our employees determined to be essential to providing the best quality of care possible. 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 determine SUN’s values. Our four values frame everything 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

At SUN Behavioral Delaware, all of the services that we offer are individualized to serve your unmet needs in treatment. Our facility in Georgetown, DE, offers a wide variety of treatment options designed to promote success in recovery. Our team of highly skilled and compassionate healthcare professionals works together to ensure that patients receive coordinated care in a healing environment. 

At our treatment facility, we currently offer the following programs:

Adolescent Treatment: Interactions with adolescents can differ greatly from interactions with adults. Because of this, the approach to the treatment of adolescents facing mental health issues must differ greatly from the treatment of adults facing similar issues. Our staff is highly skilled in treating the unique challenges of adolescents with compassion.

Adult Mental Health Services: Our adult mental health programs use evidence-based treatment, including everything from psychopharmacology to cognitive behavioral therapy. Our trauma care approach also uses the principles of safety, empowerment, trustworthiness, collaboration, and choice.

Adult Outpatient Services: Our outpatient clinic includes two important services, a partial hospitalization program and an intensive outpatient program. This allows us to provide unique options for counseling services that are individualized for 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 needs the support and structure of treatment. It is suitable for those who may need more intensive treatment than that offered in outpatient care.

Telehealth Programming: We know that in-person treatment isn’t always an option. That’s why we’ve developed the ability to offer remotely the same compassionate care as our in-person outpatient programming. 

Specialized Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders

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.
