In House M.D., at which psychiatric hospital does House receive treatment in season 6?

House receives treatment at Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital in season 6 of House M.D. The institution is the setting for the two-part season premiere, “Broken.”

At the end of the fifth season, House enters a psychiatric hospital after recognizing that his hallucinations and dependence on Vicodin have severely affected his judgment and life. “Broken” begins with his admission to Mayfield and follows his attempts to understand his addiction, relationships, and responsibility for recovery.

The storyline introduces several patients and staff members, including Dr. Darryl Nolan, played by Andre Braugher. Nolan becomes House’s supervising psychiatrist and challenges House to participate honestly in treatment rather than simply manipulate the people around him.

Mayfield is fictional, like Princeton-Plainsboro. The setting lets the series shift from diagnostic puzzles in a teaching hospital to a character-focused story about psychiatric care and addiction. House eventually leaves Mayfield, but the experience changes his professional and personal circumstances at the start of the sixth season.
