The Brook Hospital – KMI offers highly structured Adolescent
Programs that utilize a multidisciplinary team approach for
treating adolescents (ages 13-18) who are experiencing problems
with psychiatric illnesses and/or emotional problems. The inpatient
programs are designed to provide the highest level of direct
patient care that is possible, which includes physical, social,
spiritual, medical and psychotherapeutic treatment interventions.
The State requires all school age patients to continue their
education while in treatment. Jefferson County Public Schools
provides this service for our patients in our on-site classrooms.
Following completion of the inpatient program, an appropriate
referral is then made for the patient to continue treatment in the
least restrictive level of care possible (i.e., partial
hospitalization, intensive outpatient, outpatient, aftercare
program). The level of care recommended is determined by the
individual needs of the patient.
Levels of Care
Treatment & Discharge Planning
Before admission to any of the Adolescent programs, patients
receive a comprehensive assessment of their mental, physical, and
spiritual needs to determine the most appropriate level of care.
The treatment team, led by the attending psychiatrist, develops an
individual treatment plan for each patient and meets regularly to
review each patient’s progress and to update treatment goals.
Family members are also invited to participate in treatment team
and family sessions. The Brook Hospital recognizes that recovery
and healing is a lifelong process and therefore discharge planning
begins upon admission. The treatment team works closely with each
patient to set realistic goals for continuing care following
treatment and makes available information or referral for further
services as necessary.
