Inpatient Mental Health Treatment
Supporting Youth and Adults Across the Midwest
Camber provides inpatient acute hospital treatment for youth ages 6 to 18 and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, the impacts of trauma, and other mental health conditions. Our goal is to help each person stabilize and return home as safely as possible, equipped with the skills, support and resources they need to continue treatment in their community.
Take a Look Inside Our Inpatient Hospitals for Youth:
We take a people-centered approach to treatment that values the role of families and support systems. Whether someone is seeking care for their child or themselves, we believe healing happens best when trusted caregivers, loved ones or advocates are involved. When families and support systems participate in therapy and discharge planning, it helps us build stronger, more sustainable outcomes for both youth and adults.
If you’re concerned about your mental health or someone you care about, our team is here to help:

Inpatient Treatment Includes:
- Full medical, clinical and nursing assessment within the first 24 hours of admission
- Intensive psychiatric care and medication management
- Individual, family and group therapy sessions
- Case coordination
- 24/7 Support and supervision from our skilled nursing staff
- Innovative treatment and education to teach youth about their brains and how to regulate their emotions
What to Expect During Admission
When a client arrives for admission, a nurse or healthcare professional will meet them in the lobby and walk them to a private room for intake.
Here’s what happens next:
-
Consent paperwork is completed (either in person or ahead of time)
-
We gather contact information for caregivers, family or other support people
-
We provide an overview of the program and our approach to treatment
-
Each client is assigned a bedroom
- at our Olathe campus, youth and adults are placed in completely separate areas designed for their specific needs
-
Clients begin participating in therapeutic programming as soon as possible
We understand that sometimes it’s not possible for parents, guardians or support people to be onsite. If needed, we can complete the intake process over the phone as long as we’ve received the signed consent forms.

What to Expect at Discharge
To help ensure continued success, our treatment team works with each client and their parent, guardian or support person to create an aftercare plan and coordinate follow-up care in their home community. We believe follow-up services are essential to sustained progress, and when possible, we’ll help schedule these appointments before discharge.
Aftercare services might include:
-
Individual therapy
-
Family therapy or education
-
Specialized educational services
-
Medication management
-
Psychosocial or support groups
-
Substance use treatment
-
Attendant care and/or case management services
