Cedar Crest offers a range of programs for children and adolescents who suffer from emotional illness or "dual diagnosis" (both psychiatric and chemical dependence problems). From short-term, crisis-oriented acute hospitalization to longer, residential treatment, to outpatient follow-up and counseling, we treat youngsters who have a variety of needs. Family involvement is a key component, as a goal of treatment is to strengthen the family as a whole and to prepare the patient, parents, and siblings for a successful return home.
