In House M.D., what psychiatric hospital admits House during the season-six premiere?

Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital admits House during the season-six premiere of House M.D.

The two-part premiere, “Broken,” follows Gregory House as he voluntarily enters Mayfield after recognizing that his dependence on Vicodin and worsening behavior require intensive treatment. The story takes place largely inside the psychiatric facility rather than the usual diagnostic department.

At Mayfield, House works with psychiatrist Dr. Darryl Nolan, played by Andre Braugher. Nolan becomes responsible for evaluating House and setting the conditions for his treatment, while House interacts with other patients whose lives challenge his usual assumptions about control and diagnosis.

The hospital is fictional, as are the show’s Princeton-Plainsboro facilities. “Broken” was notable because it shifted the series from rare-disease cases toward addiction, accountability, and psychiatric care. It aired as the opening event of season six in 2009.
