Adolescent Treatment Program

Number of beds & staffing
The Adolescent Treatment Program has a capacity of 16 beds.

Laurel L. Williams, DO, directs more than 30 mental health professionals who work together on two treatment teams. Each patient is assigned a treatment team led by a child psychiatrist. Team members include a psychologist or child psychiatry resident, a social worker, a recreational therapist, and nursing staff members. Specialists, such as a chemical dependency counselor, join the team when needed.

The child psychiatrist is actively involved in the treatment planning, medical care and medication management. Decisions about medication are made in concert with the adolescent and the family.
