About Laurel Oaks Behavioral Health Center
Laurel Oaks Behavioral Health Center delivers residential and inpatient programming for children and adolescents from 4 to 18 who are dealing with significant emotional, behavioral, or mental health concerns. The center provides crisis stabilization, short-term psychiatric treatment, and longer-term residential services, including specialized support for young people who have co-occurring intellectual disabilities or prior trauma.
Care is based on proven therapeutic methods and delivered within a caring, trauma-sensitive setting. Residents participate in individual, group, and family therapy, supported by psychoeducation focused on social development, communication, and overall psychological well-being. The program also includes targeted groups that address grief, trauma, anger management, and self-harm. Additional support features medication monitoring, care coordination, and daily goal-setting sessions designed to strengthen coping abilities and support planning for future success.
Youth are placed in supervised living units organized by age and gender, with trained staff available around the clock. Each resident attends New Day Academy, an accredited school on-site that offers both academic instruction and vocational preparation. On-site recreation includes a gym, swimming pool, game room, tennis court, and access to outdoor areas. Meals are provided daily, and the admissions team can help arrange transportation; they are available 24/7 for referrals and assessments.
