Unlocking Each Child’s Potential Through Expert Behavioral Health Services

Acadia Healthcare’s Children’s Behavioral Solutions (CBS) works with families free of charge to connect children and adolescents with personalized treatment for mental health and substance use disorders. As a complimentary resource for therapists, agencies, and social workers, Children’s Behavioral Solutions ensures that each child has the resources they need to achieve the best treatment outcome possible.

Services Offered by the CBS Team

When a child is suffering from a mental health or substance use concern, it can be overwhelming for the entire family. The CBS team guides families through the treatment process from start to finish, making sure that they have the support they need to achieve long-term success.

Referral Coordination

The CBS team does the heavy lifting for every client by identifying and reviewing programs to ensure that they align with each child’s specific needs. We centralize the referral process by gathering all necessary documentation and verifying insurance coverage.

Streamlined Admissions

We understand how stressed families can feel when trying to navigate the admissions process. The CBS team coordinates every aspect of a child’s admission so that their family can focus on being a source of support.

Ongoing Support

Our work does not end when a child enters treatment. We collaborate on every child’s care with their treatment team, family, and referring professionals, following each child’s progress from initial evaluation to discharge.
