The MHRC Child and Adolescent inpatient program provides short-term stabilization services to individuals age 17 and younger who are experiencing significant emotional and behavioral difficulties and require a 24-hour structured and supervised therapeutic environment. Services include comprehensive assessment, psychiatric evaluation, physical examination, medication management, individual and/or group therapy, educational groups, social rehabilitation, activity options, discharge planning, and referrals and linkage to case management and other needed follow-up services.
Services are provided in a supportive manner that emphasizes the individuality of the child or adolescent and encourages participation in the treatment process. This approach maximizes his or her responsibility, self-control and feelings of self-worth. Family involvement is encouraged and various community resources are used.
