Miramont Behavioral Health, a 72-bed psychiatric hospital under construction in Middleton for nearly three years, is expected to open to patients as soon as this month.
The facility will add to Dane Countyâs 100 inpatient psychiatric beds, offering inpatient and outpatient care for children, adolescents, adults and seniors along with chemical-dependency treatment for adults and an around-the-clock intake center, company officials have said.
With the county last month hiring a consultant to implement a planned Mental Health Triage and Restoration Center, Miramont will also help keep people with mental health crises out of jail and the Winnebago Mental Health Institute in Oshkosh, local officials said.
