About Laurel Oaks Behavioral Health Center
Laurel Oaks Behavioral Health Center provides inpatient and residential care for children and teens ages 4 to 18 facing serious emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric challenges. The center offers crisis stabilization, acute psychiatric care, and long-term residential treatment, including support for youth with co-occurring intellectual disabilities or trauma histories.
The treatment approach combines evidence-based therapies with a supportive, trauma-informed environment. Youth receive individual, group, and family therapy, along with psychoeducation on topics like social skills, communication, and mental wellness. Special groups address grief, trauma, anger, and self-harm. Services also include medication management, case coordination, and daily therapeutic goal-setting to help youth build coping skills and plan for success.
Residents live in structured units by age and gender, with 24/7 staff support. Each youth attends New Day Academy, an accredited on-site school offering academic and vocational training. Amenities include a gym, swimming pool, game room, tennis court, and outdoor spaces. Nutritious meals are provided, and travel arrangements can be made through the admissions team, available 24/7 for referrals and assessments.
