Rockland Children’s Psychiatric Center

About Rockland Children’s Psychiatric Center – Orangeburg, New York

Rockland Children’s Psychiatric Center in Orangeburg, New York, is as it sounds, all about kids mental health. They have inpatient treatment for children and youth between the ages of 11 and 18, and they have intensive day treatment, day treatment, and outpatient therapy for children as young as 5 and young adults up to 21 years old.

While the main focus of the RCPC is psychiatric disorders and emotional health, it also treats behavior disorders and has therapy for young adults and youths who are struggling with addiction. It doesn’t matter whether the addiction is to alcohol, smoking, prescription or street drugs, or to something such as gambling or social media.

Cognitive (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) are used in conjunction with experiential and expressive therapy activities, and other innovative and effective evidence-based treatments.

Intensive treatment and a full day school educational program is offered to children and youth ages 11 to 18 who require inpatient therapy and support. This may be for an emotional or behavioral health issue.

Youth who don’t require full inpatient treatment but still need support for a mental health crisis or managing mental health and emotional struggles can enroll in an intensive day treatment program that lasts approximately four to six weeks. Youths attend during the day, part of which is dedicated to school and academics while the other part focuses on mental health treatment and therapeutic activities.

There are also less intensive day treatment programs that allow children and youth to attend their home school and live at home while still receiving daily mental health support and therapy from social workers, psychiatrists, and experienced mental health professionals.

Intensive case management is another service that is offered to children and young adults from the ages of 5 to 21. This is for kids living in an at-risk and high stress environment or are dealing with mental health issues and family dysfunction.

Health insurance is accepted from most providers, including State and Federal programs.
