Help for Mental Health Issues
Spring Mountain Treatment Center* has opened an adolescent partial hospitalization program and an adult intensive outpatient program to provide outpatient treatment instead of hospitalization.
The partial hospitalization program is for adolescents ages 12 to 17. Therapy focuses on the child's positive attributes, including the family, and provides a measurable outcome upon completion of the program.
The adult intensive outpatient program -- located at Spring Mountain Treatment Center's additional facility, Spring Mountain Sahara -- provides therapies for numerous mental health issues with an emphasis on problems relevant to the senior population. To learn more about these outpatient services, please contact our admissions department at 702-873-2400.
*Spring Mountain accepts Medicare, Nevada Medicaid and private insurance.
