McLean’s child and adolescent partial hospital programs provide intensive, short-term mental health care for children, teens, and young adults ages 7 to 19 with emotional and behavioral challenges.
These insurance-based programs focus on stabilization and teach coping skills, offering a structured treatment environment for those who can safely live at home. Each program focuses on helping youths to manage life stressors and mental health symptoms, improving their ability to function at home, in school, and within their communities.
We offer intensive supervision and treatment, going beyond traditional outpatient care. Our multidisciplinary teams provide assessment, group programming, individual therapy, skills training, rehabilitation therapy, and medication evaluation.
