Adolescent Partial Hospitalization is a treatment option for patients who need more intensive treatment than office outpatient therapy can provide, but do not require 24-hour supervision. Each emphasizes short-term individualized treatment to return teens to their homes and communities as quickly as possible. Richard Young Center offers addiction treatment for adolescents. This adolescent program is unique in providing simultaneous treatment for psychiatric and addictive problems during a single hospitalization. Treatment is based on a blend of the medical model and AA's 12 steps of recovery.
Treatment includes family services and aftercare following discharge.
Our experienced, highly qualified staff are particularly responsive to the needs of adolescents and able to offer the personal support so important to youthful recovery. In addition to providing immediate care for crisis situations, the teen program includes diagnostic testing and evaluation to determine the nature and extent of an adolescent's problems. Richard Young Center maintains its own state-approved educational program so that teens may continue their school work during hospitalization and in some cases, after dismissal. Richard Young Center offers assistance not only to patients but their families as well. This includes education, support groups, guidance from mental health professionals and pastoral care.
