What To Do Next

If after gathering this information for the benefit of your child or for the purposes of making a referral to our hospital, it will be made known that our admissions staff can complete an evaluation for admissions 24/7 if Southwood Psychiatric Hospital is deemed the provider of choice. Additionally, it is apparent that a youth requires care that cannot be offered by Southwood, our staff will diligently work to help you determine a treatment provider or option that will best meet the needs of the individual requiring care. Our goal is to make sure that the most appropriate treatment is afforded to a youth and their family and we will make it a priority to link the individual needing treatment with the best suited care option available.

If you feel there is a youth who would benefit from the programming offered at Southwood Psychiatric Hospital, do not hesitate to contact us to learn more about how we can help.

I give Southwood a big thanks — they were the help that I have been looking for. The staff was wonderful!
