The hospital serves as a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking to restore stability and rediscover a sense of purpose in their lives.
Many patients are referred to WakeBrook following an evaluation and stabilization at a mental health crisis center or hospital emergency department.

Admissions may occur voluntarily or involuntarily. Voluntary patients typically arrive through referrals from healthcare providers, while involuntary commitments (IVC) may be made when individuals are deemed a danger to themselves or others and unable to make informed decisions about their care. WakeMed honors the rights and autonomy of all patients and has made a concerted effort to minimize the use of IVC. Over the past several years, the use of involuntary commitment across the WakeMed system has decreased by 60%, reflecting the organization’s dedication to patient-centered, respectful mental health care.
