About Hawthorn Childrens Psychiatric Hospital – St. Louis
Hawthorn Children’s Psychiatric Hospital, located in St. Louis, Missouri, is a state-operated clinic that dedicates itself to giving children and adolescents between ages 6-18 mental health services. While they state that their main focus is addressing severe psychiatric conditions, I also found that they treat co-occurring substance use disorders as well.
They do this in several ways. One way is by offering inpatient acute treatment as a program option. This specific program is designed for young people who’re experiencing severe mental health crises. I like that they’re very child-centered and family-focused and use that approach throughout the entire process.
Within this program, you can find some interesting services, such as comprehensive psychiatric evaluations to help determine the specific mental health challenges that you’re facing. Afterwards, you’ll get an individualized treatment plan that addresses your psychiatric symptoms and any co-occurring substance abuse symptoms. They also have therapeutic interventions like individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy.
If you’re worried about your medications, don’t be. They offer medication management that’ll carefully oversee your medications and put you on the right dosage at the right times so that you don’t have to worry about that and can focus on getting better.
The residential treatment program is a therapeutic community with 24 beds that can give you plenty of help through services such as individualized programming to tailor the intervention to your specific needs, skill development, and multidisciplinary team approaches.
