Child & Adolescent Inpatient Treatment

child & adolescent psychiatric services

Children and adolescents experience many
physical and emotional changes. But for some, life becomes overwhelming due to underlying depression, family conflicts or reaction to stress, trauma or abuse. We assist children and adolescents in developing effective coping skills and building self-esteem to be able to return home and back to school. Youngsters of kindergarten age through teenage years are treated in designated services; children as well
as adolescent male and females are on secure units and are separated from the adults at all times. Our facility includes a separate education wing for school, new play yard and full service gymnasium.

OUR treatment program includes:

• Psychiatric Evaluation

• Psycho-educational Groups (medication
  education, illness education, anger
  management, coping skills, ect.)

• Psychosocial Assessment

• Nursing Assessment

• History and Physical

• Dietary Consults

• Psychological Screening and/or Testing (by
  consult)

• Individual/Family/Group Therapy

• Academic Instruction-3 hours Each Day by a

Often, Children and Adolescents require adjunctive therapies or other modalities to most effectively communicate and express themselves. Our Allied Therapy Program provides  the patient with optional avenues for expression and fosters group interaction. Recreation, Art, Movement and music therapy are offered 7 days a week for patients.
