Adolescent Inpatient Services

Granite Hills Hospital, located in West Allis, Wisconsin, provides adolescent inpatient mental health and behavioral health services for teens 13 through 17 when their symptoms require a 24-hour, structured therapeutic environment.

What We Treat

Inpatient mental health treatment varies based on the specific needs of each individual. The mental health professionals at our facility will create an individualized treatment for the teen once admitted into our care.

Our adolescent behavioral health inpatient program offers diagnosis and treatment for a wide variety of mental health care issues, and a multitude of treatment modalities for your loved one so we can find the one that works best for them.

Our goal is to stabilize adolescents so they can regain the necessary skills to be in control of their emotions and behaviors and be able to succeed at home and in school.

Mental health in teens is important, and a stay in an inpatient mental health facility or teenage psychiatric hospital may be necessary for their long-term health.

Our mental and behavioral health care services include a treatment plan specific to each individual teen, as well as further inpatient and outpatient care if necessary.

Located a few miles west of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Granite Hills Hospital provides teens with around-the-clock mental health treatment. After completion of inpatient psychiatric treatment, teens have the option of continuing care in an outpatient setting.

Finding the right treatment for a teen suffering with a mental illness can be stressful. If your loved one needs inpatient care, reach out to us today by calling 414-667-4800 for a no-cost, confidential assessment.
