Inpatient Adolescent

Aurora Behavioral Health System provides acute inpatient psychiatric treatment for adolescents. The focus of care is for short, intensive hospital stays designed to diagnose and treat emotional, behavioral and psychiatric disorders. Adolescents admitted are treated and cared for by licensed professionals whose combined specialties focus on dealing with depression, substance abuse, aggression, rebellion, self-injury and suicidal behaviors.
We believe a team approach is the most effective method to deliver quality care. An integrated treatment team of psychiatrists, registered nurses, social workers and chemical dependency counselors work collectively with the patient and family to develop an individualized treatment plan. Treatment plans include ongoing weekly family therapy sessions, daily group therapy session, recreational therapy and medical and behavioral management education. The daily schedule is targeted at achieving goals and resolving issues. Upon discharge, the team works to arrange for comprehensive aftercare in the community.

Within a safe and secure environment, the adolescent inpatient setting provides specialized inpatient treatment for adolescents between the ages of 13-17. During the difficult transition from childhood to adulthood, some adolescents experience disabling symptoms including:

• Depression and Hopelessness
• Self-injury or suicidal behavior/thoughts
• Rebellion, defiance or aggression
• Alcohol and/or substance abuse

The goal of inpatient treatment for the adolescent is to effectively deal with the crisis, reduce the symptoms, develop more appropriate behavior and learn effective coping and social skills. Highly trained staff focus on empowering adolescents by helping and educating them to:

• Accept responsibility for their behavior
• Consider the consequences of their behavior
• Examine their values
• Develop effective communication skills

Aurora Behavioral Health System is committed to providing a therapeutic program supportive to both the adolescent and their family. Our services include assistance with aftercare and discharge planning and arranging for outpatient follow up care. Family involvement is encouraged and the program offers therapy and support to parents, siblings and others family members.
