Longleaf Hospital is proud to offer comprehensive treatment for children, teenagers, adults and seniors suffering with mental health issues. Our inpatient programs include:

Children and Adolescent Treatment

Longleaf Hospital offers treatment for children and adolescents who are suffering from complex psychiatric disorders and co-occurring disorders. With our wide range of clinical expertise, our child and adolescent multidisciplinary treatment team helps to stabilize acute symptoms, identify core problems, and determine the next steps in the child or teen's recovery process. We offer in-depth assessments for each child or teen who comes to us for help so that we are able to treat all of the disorders the child or teen is facing, not simply the presenting problem.

Treatment goals for our children and adolescent patients involve crisis resolution, treating acute mental health conditions, create a treatment plan based around the child or teen's needs and the recommendations of our treatment team. We'll work hard to teach each child and teen who comes to us for help to develop and practice effective coping, communication, and emotional regulations. Your child or teen's treatment team will be assessing and reassessing the progress he or she makes during his or her stay with us and making any adjustments to the treatment plan as needed. Children and teens in our care will practice newly-learned skills in a scholastic atmosphere to make the adjustment back into their school as seamless as possible.
