About Specialized Treatment Facility – Gulfport
Specialized Treatment Facility is a residential mental health care center for adolescents in Gulfport, Mississippi. They provide psychiatric services for teens between the ages of 12 and 17 who are struggling with severe mental disorders. Their support may also extend to co-occurring conditions like addiction. To qualify for admission, you must have a diagnosed psychiatric illness and no outstanding felony charges.
Their facility can hold up to 48 males and females at a time. The goal of the program is to help each client become mentally and physically stable so they can return to their home, school and community.
I like that their clinical team takes an evidence based approach to treatment. They use milieu therapy to organically enhance social skills and build confidence through everyday events and activities. As residents participate in daily routines and adhere to the rules, they’re consistently learning and growing.
Some of their services available on site include individual, group and family counseling sessions, physical education, and art lessons. There’s even a school on campus so you don’t have to worry about falling behind on your work while you attend treatment. During your stay here, they’ll expect you to keep your living area clean and neat as you hone your life skills.
One former client says this facility saved her life. She mentions that it felt like home and not like a treatment facility, which made her recovery easier.
