Behavioral Health Inpatient Program for Teens

Helping Teens Get Back on Track

We recognize that the teen years are a time of discovery and excitement — but the unique challenges that face these age groups can lead to confusion, stress and misbehavior. Our inpatient program for teens, ages 12 to 17, provides mental health treatment with a positive, stable and compassionate environment for youth to work through issues that led to hospitalization.

Our program is designed to provide patients with effective ways of coping, while parents have the opportunity to enhance the skills needed to guide their children.

What can I expect while my teen is in treatment?

Treatment plans are based on thorough mental health assessments. Therapists work to identify problems that are affecting behavior. The goal of treatment is to use new tools to increase functioning and help teens make a successful transition back home, to school or to a day therapy program.

We provide:

• Extensive group therapy with professional clinicians
• Activity therapy
• Family sessions
• Medication evaluation and education (if required)
• Aftercare planning

The multidisciplinary treatment team includes a psychiatrist, nursing staff, a licensed mental health therapist and a recreational therapist.
