A safe space for youth to heal, grow and prepare for life back at home.

Residential mental health treatment at Camber provides youth with intensive, around-the-clock support in a structured, home-like environment. Our expert clinicians and staff help youth build emotion regulation and coping skills through evidence-based therapy, education and engaging community activities.

This level of care is ideal for children and teens who need more support than outpatient services can provide but are not currently in crisis. 

What Is Residential Treatment? 

Residential care includes 24/7 supervision and therapeutic support, allowing youth to practice new skills in real-time. Our goal is to help each child safely return to their home environment with improved emotional, social and cognitive abilities. 

If you’re concerned about your child’s mental health or would like to refer a client to Camber, our admissions team is here to help. 

What Residential Treatment Includes 

Youth in residential care receive: 

• Full medical, clinical and nursing assessments 

• Intensive psychiatric care and medication management 

• Individual, family and group therapy 

• Case coordination and discharge planning 

• Neuroscience-based education to help youth understand their brain and emotions 

• Accredited K–12 education with academic testing, credit recovery and IEP services 

What to Expect at Admissions 

When a child arrives for admission, a nurse or healthcare professional will greet them and escort the family to a visiting room. There, our team will: 

• Help parents/guardians complete admission paperwork and consent forms 

• Provide an overview of the treatment program and introduce the staff 

• Assign the child a bedroom 

• Begin therapeutic programming as soon as possible 

If parents/guardians cannot be present in person, admissions can also be completed over the phone with advance paperwork. 

What to Expect at Discharge 

As treatment nears completion, Camber’s team works closely with families to create an individualized aftercare plan. This ensures each child has the resources and support needed for long-term success. 

Aftercare services may include: 

• Ongoing therapy and family support 

• Medication management 

• Specialized educational services 

• Support groups or substance use treatment 

• Attendant care or case management 

We help schedule follow-up appointments when possible to ease the transition back into daily life.
