Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital, located in Greystone Park, NJ, is a state-run mental health facility with a long history dating back to the 19th century. Originally opened in 1876 as the New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum, the hospital was designed to provide compassionate and comprehensive mental healthcare. The original main building, known for its impressive Kirkbride architectural style, was one of the largest facilities of its kind at the time. Over the years, the hospital has evolved in its approach to mental health treatment, adapting to modern practices and changes in the field. The original building eventually fell into disrepair and was demolished in 2015, making way for a new, state-of-the-art facility that continues to serve patients today. The current Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital offers a variety of mental health services, focusing on evidence-based treatments to support individuals with severe mental illnesses. Its programs aim to prepare patients for community reintegration, providing support through therapy, medication, and skill development. The hospital is an essential component of New Jersey’s mental health system, working to improve the well-being of its patients through compassionate care and dedicated service.
