Support Living Treatment Centers in Joplin, MO

Located in Springfield, Missouri, Lakeland Behavioral Health System offers an acute inpatient treatment program for children and adolescents ages 4-17 who are suffering from mental health and emotional concerns. During their time with us, young people can benefit from the combined experience of our mental health and medical professionals. These professionals include physicians, registered nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, therapists, and behavioral health technicians. Because adolescence is a time of significant emotional and physical change, it’s essential for a young person’s care to be developmentally appropriate. Our teams specialize in delivering age-specific treatment that can help each young patient thrive at home, in school, and in their community. Because each young person has different needs, we don’t predetermine a specific length of stay in our adolescent inpatient program. Our team evaluates each youth’s progress on a regular basis to determine how long they should continue participating in programming.

Lakeland Behavioral Health offers clinically excellent outpatient care for children and adolescents ages 8-17 who are suffering from mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our intensive outpatient program (IOP), the Evolve IOP, is designed to help youths reintegrate into their homes and schools after completing inpatient treatment. Youths can step down to our IOP from our inpatient program, or they can enter it directly if they are already medically stable. Children and teens who participate in our EVOLVE adolescent IOP can benefit from the collective experience of our multidisciplinary team of mental health and medical professionals. The team at Lakeland includes psychiatrists, physicians, therapists, registered nurses, physician assistants, recreational therapists, and dietitians. Together, we work with each young patient to understand their background and unique needs so that we can design a personalized treatment plan for them.
