What psychiatric hospital does Gregory House enter in the House, M.D. episode “Broken”?

Gregory House enters Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital in the House, M.D. episode “Broken.”

“Broken” is the two-part premiere of the show’s sixth season. It follows House after he voluntarily commits himself for psychiatric treatment because of his Vicodin addiction and the destructive behavior associated with it.

The story shifts much of the action away from Princeton-Plainsboro and introduces patients and staff at Mayfield. House’s treatment includes group therapy and individual work with Dr. Darryl Nolan, played by Andre Braugher. The setting allows the series to examine House’s behavior through a sustained recovery story rather than a single medical case.

The hospital is fictional. It should not be confused with Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, where House normally practices, or with the real psychiatric institutions that may have inspired the episode’s setting.
