PROVIDENCE – Butler Hospital recently launched a partial hospital program for young people aged 18 to 26.
The program was designed to help individuals struggling with changes – for instance, adjusting to independent life, transitioning between school and work – and relationship issues.
The clinical team for the program is expert in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, trauma and impulsive behaviors arising from stress.
Congressman Jim Langevin tweeted his congratulations to the hospital on the creation of the program: “Congrats @ButlerHospital on tonight’s ribbon cutting for the Young Adult Partial Hospital Program. Thanks for all your work caring for kids.”
The program runs weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The average length of treatment is anticipated to be between five and eight days.
Referrals from a health care provider, school counselor or parent are not required. To begin the process of becoming part of the young adult program, call 401-455-6223.
