Youth in immediate crisis and those who have complex mental health issues are treated in an inpatient treatment unit. The Child Unit (ages 5–12) and the Adolescent Units (ages 13–18) address the patient’s medical, psychological, and social needs in a safe, protected environment.
Following a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, a team of child-adolescent psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists, and nurses develop an individual treatment plan centered on: stabilization, solution-focused treatment, and triage to a less restrictive level of care. Treatment also includes individual and family therapy, medication management, and experiential therapies.
Kidstar is a daily treatment program for children 5–12 years of age that assists in clarifying the diagnosis of children with emotional and behavioral challenges.
