History

The name Rye Psychiatric Hospital Center was incorporated in 1973. [5] By 2014 they had closed. [6]

Rye [7] had provided "services for the mentally ill." Patients included those with addictions, and whose "behavior represents a danger to himself and others." [8]

A famous patient 'vanished' from their facility, a lunatic asylum which The New York Times' described as a Sanitarium. [4] The hospital [9] is sometimes referred to as "Rye Hospital Center". [10]

Controversy

In 1984 the State of New York claimed that their facility was underutilized (and cut funding); their challenge was rejected. [11] [12]
