Children Services

We offer inpatient programs for children ages 5 to 12 with emotional, psychiatric, or behavioral problems. At Millwood, we understand that agitation, temper-tantrums, fussy eating, sadness or restless sleep patterns are not unusual behaviors in children. However, when coupled with other behaviors such as purposely hurting themselves or withdrawing from affection, these behaviors may be an indication of severe psychological problems.
