Asha Vista Behavioral Institute is moving forward with an inpatient behavioral health hospital in Murrells Inlet designed to provide short-term, intensive psychiatric care for adults experiencing a mental health crisis.

The hospital will be located on U.S. Highway 707 in Murrells Inlet, in a building that will be renovated and converted for inpatient behavioral health care.

Asha Vista will provide inpatient psychiatric care focused on crisis stabilization, evaluation, treatment planning, medication management when appropriate, and discharge planning with strong follow-up coordination.

Asha Vista will serve adults (18+) experiencing acute mental health needs, such as major depression, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and related conditions that require short-term inpatient treatment.

Most stays are short-term and focused on stabilization. Length of stay varies by clinical need and discharge readiness.

The region has an identified need for more behavioral health treatment capacity. Asha Vista’s mission is to provide timely access to crisis stabilization so patients can return to their communities as quickly and safely as possible.

We plan to engage with local partners, clinicians, and community organizations and to communicate clearly as the project progresses. Our focus is providing high-quality care while being a reliable community partner.
