Millcreek of Pontotoc, located in Pontotoc, Mississippi, offers residential treatment programs for children, adolescents, and young adults ages 6-21 who have mental health concerns and require a higher level of care than a typical outpatient treatment program can provide. Our residential program consists of three cottages situated on a spacious, 20-acre campus and is designed to address the intensive behavioral and educational needs of young people throughout northern Mississippi. Young people stay in cabins based on their age, gender, and specific needs. Typically, residents spend three to six months in residential treatment and receive schooling in our day treatment program. We believe that every young person deserves a nurturing and supportive environment where they can feel valued and can freely express themselves. To be eligible for residential treatment, youths must have a primary psychiatric diagnosis, have had unsuccessful inpatient or outpatient mental health treatment in the past, and obtain a letter of recommendation from a psychiatrist or another mental health professional within 60 days of admission.
