Located in Springfield, Missouri, Lakeland Behavioral Health System offers an acute inpatient treatment program for children and adolescents ages 4-17 who are suffering from mental health and emotional concerns. During their time with us, young people can benefit from the combined experience of our mental health and medical professionals. These professionals include physicians, registered nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, therapists, and behavioral health technicians. Because adolescence is a time of significant emotional and physical change, it’s essential for a young person’s care to be developmentally appropriate. Our teams specialize in delivering age-specific treatment that can help each young patient thrive at home, in school, and in their community. Because each young person has different needs, we don’t predetermine a specific length of stay in our adolescent inpatient program. Our team evaluates each youth’s progress on a regular basis to determine how long they should continue participating in programming.
