Inpatient Treatment

Opening Late 2026: Our inpatient program will provide 24‑hour, acute care for patients ages six to 18 whose emotional and behavioral health needs require immediate, high‑level intervention. This level of care is designed for youth experiencing a mental health crisis. Our goal is to help each patient stabilize and return home as safely as possible, equipped with the skills, support and resources they need to continue treatment in their community. 

Families will be valued partners on this journey. We will work closely with parents and guardians to create an aftercare plan that supports ongoing healing after discharge, helping each child continue to progress in their home community. 

Why Inpatient Treatment Might Be the Right Fit

If a child or teen is facing an urgent mental health crisis and requires full supervision and rapid therapeutic intervention, our inpatient program will provide the safest and most comprehensive first step toward healing. 

Patients receiving inpatient treatment will not attend school during their stay; the focus will be solely on stabilization and crisis intervention so they can safely transition to the next level of care. Families and referring providers will stay closely involved. Our team will collaborate with caregivers to develop a discharge plan that connects each child back to their home, school and community with support and structure in place. 

Highlights of Inpatient Treatment

Features of inpatient treatment will include:  

  • Full medical, clinical and nursing assessment within the first 24 hours of admission 
  • Intensive psychiatric care and medication management 
  • Individual, family and group therapy sessions 
  • Case coordination 
  • 24/7 support and supervision from our skilled nursing staff 
  • Innovative treatment and education to teach youth about their brains and how to regulate their emotions
