VIVE Adolescent Mental Health Hospital and Recovery Program

Why Vive? Because the suicide rate in teens is 300 times the national average the week after they are released from a short stay in a hospital mental health unit. Vive is designed just for teens, ensuring a consistent recovery program during and following a mental health crisis.

The Complete Mental Health Treatment Solution

VIVE brings together crisis stabilization, medical care, and behavioral health treatment in one seamless continuum of care, allowing adolescents to receive comprehensive treatment in an age-appropriate, comfortable environment. We only work with youth, unlike most psychiatric wards of hospitals. Call us to learn where your child can best be served by our multi-layered program, all in one facility. No more program transfers, nor adolescent patients mixed in with adults.

Vive’s integrated continuum of care is designed to meet adolescents wherever they are in their mental health journey, from an immediate psychiatric crisis to ongoing recovery. Whether a teen is admitted directly to Vive or transitions from another psychiatric hospital, our multidisciplinary team provides stabilization, comprehensive clinical assessment, and a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs.

Vive Specializes Exclusively in Youth Mental Health Crisis Care

Vive provides help to teens, age 12-17, struggling with mental health challenges. Rather than treating symptoms alone, Vive’s clinicians work to identify the underlying causes of emotional and behavioral challenges, creating an evidence-based strategy that supports lasting progress. As treatment needs evolve, adolescents can seamlessly transition between appropriate levels of care within the same trusted program, reducing disruptions and promoting continuity. Families are an essential part of the recovery process. Throughout treatment, parents and caregivers receive education, guidance, and therapeutic support to strengthen communication, rebuild relationships, and develop the skills needed to help their teen continue making progress long after leaving Vive.

We Offer 4 Levels Of Intervention And Recovery

The Vive Process allows us to offer different levels of care based on your Physicians recommendation. From intensive inpatient care to intensive family out-patient programming and for those who need something in between.

Hospital In-Patient (Active Risk)

This is the most intensive level of care, offering 24-hour skilled nursing observation, daily interventions, and oversight from a team of mental health/psychiatric providers and professionals in order to provide safety and effective treatment of stabilization. In addition to traditional stabilization methods, Vive incorporates advanced Mind & Mood therapies—including ketamine treatment, TMS, and other holistic interventions—to support recovery from multiple angles. Inpatient hospitalization is short-term, designed to quickly reduce the most serious symptoms and prepare clients for a safe transition to the next level of care.

Intermediate Secure (Continued Risk)

Once clients have reached initial stabilization, they may step down into our highly specialized intermediate secure program. Here, they continue to receive 24-hour skilled nursing observation, daily oversight from psychiatric providers, and intensive treatment coordinated by the same treatment team. This level of care focuses on continued risk management, building resilience, and continued transitional treatment plans that prepare clients for longer-term recovery, while still maintaining a high degree of structure, safety, and support.

Residential Medical Center (Transitional Planning)

Our Residential Medical Center (RMTC) program is unique in the industry and offers the next step in recovery, with a strong focus on family involvement and thoughtful transition planning for each client’s next placement. Clients continue to receive daily engagement and close oversight from their therapists, providers, and treatment team, with the benefit of maintaining continuity of care from the inpatient setting. Access to a wide range of therapies—including our Mind & Mood treatment options—helps clients continue progress in a less restrictive environment. The RMC program balances intensive clinical care with a supportive, family-centered approach, ensuring that both clients and families are equipped for a safe and successful transition.

Outpatient – Day Program (Step Down Care)

Our daytime Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an on-campus day program designed to provide structured treatment while helping families prepare for a smooth transition back home. Running Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the program allows clients to engage in daily groups, therapies, and activities without an overnight stay. This model gives families the reassurance of continued intensive support while gradually reintegrating home routines. Clients receive therapeutic structure, peer connection, and ongoing clinical guidance throughout the day—while families benefit from coaching and oversight that helps ensure the transition into the home environment is as safe, stable, and supportive as possible.

Levels Of Intervention And Recovery Image

Unlike long-term residential treatment centers or therapeutic boarding schools, Vive focuses on rapid psychiatric stabilization through a medical-driven treatment model that emphasizes accurate diagnosis, medication management when appropriate, individual therapy, group therapy, family involvement, and discharge planning. Every treatment plan is personalized to address each adolescent’s emotional, psychological, behavioral, and family needs while preparing them for a successful transition to outpatient services or a lower level of care.
