University Neuropsychiatric Institute
Child & Adolescent Behavioral & Mental Health Services
Child & Adolescent Inpatient
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 Unit (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.
