Searching to find the appropriate treatment for your adolescent child going through a Mental Health Crisis can be a scary and stressful situation for EVERYONE involved… the child… the healthcare provider… and mostly the parent! Where do you begin? Who do you turn to? Where do you go for help? What treatment do you seek out? Many parents look to their local hospitals.. but the service and care they can provide are only a short term solution for emergency suicidal situations… But then what? As a parent what should you do next?
TREATMENT OPTIONS
There are a number of different treatment directions that you can turn to when in crisis including:
- Short Term Residential Treatment Centers: RTC programs provide behavioral treatment and correction over a course of 4-6 months.
- Wilderness Programs: Similar to RTC programs but can be even longer term and more physically demanding.
- Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitals: A great options for clients who need close supervision and stabilization, or for those who are actively self-harming or attempting suicide.
- Partial Hospitalization Programs: A great mix between out-patient therapy and a program. The client gets to sleep at home with the family while receiving treatment all day long.
- Out-Patient therapy: A great option once the client is no longer in crisis.
