New Horizons Program

New Horizons at the Midlands Campus provides general psychiatric and behavioral treatment services for female adolescents ages 11-17.5 with an Axis I or an Axis II psychiatric disorder. We deliver services in a residential setting with awake supervision 24 hours a day.

The approach to assessment and treatment of adolescents is an individualized psychosocial and developmental perspective. Our goal is to move the adolescent toward significant improvement in order to allow placement or a return to a less restrictive environment when discharged.
