The new facility can provide care for up to 116 patients with severe mental illnesses, with a focus on rehabilitation. The new hospital offers enhanced safety, security, and a more effective therapeutic environment, with a primary focus of providing intermediate inpatient psychiatric care to adults. 

Treatment services include individual, group, and family therapy; recreational and occupational therapy; pharmacotherapy; speech and hearing therapy; nutritional counseling; dental services; pastoral care services, and limited diagnostic medical services.

CLSH was originally opened at another location in 1906.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
