Located in Chicago, Illinois, Montrose Behavioral Health Hospital offers tailored programming for those in need of acute psychiatric care. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to addressing each patient’s unique needs in the treatment setting that is most beneficial for them.
Child & Adolescent Inpatient Services
At Montrose Behavioral Health Hospital for Children & Teens, located in Chicago not far from Lake Michigan, we provide inpatient treatment for kids ages 5-17. Inpatient care is designed to address acute concerns and takes place over a short period of time, typically between five and seven days. However, the exact amount of time a child spends in our care can vary depending on their specific needs.
Our programming for children and teens is split up into two different units. Children age 12 and younger receive care in one unit, while adolescents ages 13-17 receive treatment in a separate unit. This can help add a sense of comfort because kids are surrounded by other children who are close to their own age.
Adult Inpatient Services
Patients in our adult inpatient mental health program will typically receive services for five to seven days, while those in our chemical dependency program will be in treatment for an average of three to five days. The exact length of stay will vary based on each patient’s unique circumstances.
Our adult treatment center includes an older adult unit and an intensive treatment unit. The general adult unit has three distinct wings where focused programming takes place. This includes one unit for patients who are receiving care for co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns, one specifically for addiction treatment that includes a detox program, and one that offers programming that is tailored to members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
By offering care at separate locations, we can create treatment settings that are as comfortable as possible for each population.
