Children and adolescents, like adults, can face mental health and behavioral problems that affect the way they act, feel and think. Brentwood provides inpatient treatment for children and adolescents ages 5 to 17 who are experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties. Treatment is provided in a supportive, secure and controlled environment where children and teens can be treated effectively by a caring and compassionate team of mental health professionals.

The inpatient unit is designed with separate child and adolescent wings. Separate staff and programming ensure age-appropriate care. Our multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals is under the direction of a board-certified or board-eligible psychiatrist and consists of therapists, social workers, nurses, case managers, activity/recreational therapists and /or nutritionists. Individualized treatment plans are developed by integrating family, school, community agencies and other service providers.

Some of the problems we address are:

• Threatening or destructive behavior
• Self-destructive behavior
• Depression
• Attention and concentration disorders
• Anxiety disorders
• Social withdrawal

We cannot offer diagnosis, counseling or recommendations online, but an assessment and referral specialist is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 800-863-4004. If you are currently experiencing an emergency, please dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
