Mission Children's Hospital offers the region's only designated inpatient facility for young psychiatric patients.
Children suffering from severe emotional disturbances or mental illness receive counseling and treatment in our Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Unit. We offer nine beds for adolescents and eight beds for children who require an inpatient stay.
In our protective environment, patients receive intensive supervision, short-term help with medications, evaluation of additional medical problems, and therapy.
The focus is on short-term hospitalization with transition from our unit back to home, a residential treatment facility or other community setting for ongoing treatment.
Adolescents struggling with substance abuse can also receive therapy through Copestone outpatient services. Group therapy is also available for youth with eating disorders.
Location: St. Joseph's campus, 5th floor
