Southwood offers three distinct levels of care for children and adolescents throughout the tri-state area. Southwood’s acute psychiatric unit is co-ed for children 4-18. The intake and assessment department are available 24 hours a day and the hospital accepts almost all insurances and the uninsured.
Our residential services offer two unique programs. Southwood’s MR/DD is a 40 bed dual-diagnosed program that consists of mental illness and a developmental disorder, Autism and/or mental retardation. The residents are grouped by age, cognitive ability, and functioning level into separate living areas.
