Doctors meet with you daily to evaluate and diagnose your condition and help guide your treatment. They can answer any questions and concerns you may have about your condition, your medicine, and your treatment.

The Program Director/Psychologist is available Monday through Friday and assists with admissions, assessments, treatment and discharge planning. He is available to talk with patients and their family members, as well as other educational and treatment providers

Nurses and mental health workers are here 24 hours a day. They are available to answer your questions, talk with you, and help provide support with any challenges you face during your stay.

Social Workers participate daily in your care. They answer questions about your follow up appointments and discharge plans, and talk with you, your parent or guardian, and your outpatient treatment providers.
