Services

Hill Crest Behavioral Health Services offers a highly structured, multidisciplinary Adolescent Program for adolescents ages 11–19. This program is designed for youth who need more intensive diagnostic and therapeutic services than can be provided on an outpatient basis. The Adolescent Program is structured to provide the highest level of direct patient care and includes physical, social and medical treatment interventions. After patients complete the Adolescent Program, our staff will make an appropriate referral for continued treatment in a less restrictive level of care.

We also offer a Residential Treatment Center for adolescents ages 11–19. We are proud to house our educational programming through Higdon Hill School, a Cognia School of Distinction.
