Montrose Behavioral Health Premier treatment center serving Chicago & the surrounding suburbs.

Mental health concerns can affect people differently depending on their age, so we believe that we can most effectively treat our patients when we consider their developmental needs. Montrose Behavioral Health Hospital offers age-appropriate treatment in the following units: 

• Children ages 5-12 
• Adolescents ages 13-17 
• Adults age 18 and older 
• Senior adults age 55 and older 

We designed our inpatient programming to help patients who are experiencing acute symptoms of mental health concerns stabilize so that they can return home or step down to a lower level of care.  

Each patient who receives inpatient care at our hospital completes a thorough evaluation that can help our team create a personalized treatment plan for them. This plan includes a tailored combination of the therapies and services we offer, such as: 

• Evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) that can help patients identify and alter negative thought and behavioral patterns 
• Basic medical care provided by a medical doctor and nurses 
• Medication management services, including meetings with a psychiatrist five times per week in addition to regular monitoring by our nursing staff 
• Detoxification services for patients who have co-occurring substance use disorders 
• Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for patients who are struggling with addictions to opioids and need help managing opioid withdrawal symptoms 
• Individual and family therapy sessions provided by social workers on an as-needed basis 
• Group therapy sessions led by social workers, counselors, or nurses two times per day 
• Aftercare planning, which may include referrals to a lower level of care and other community resources 

Those who receive care at Montrose Behavioral Health Hospital can benefit from our expertise, research-based treatments, and supportive environment. We strive to help patients gain the tools they need to heal. Patients in each unit can learn age-appropriate skills during counseling sessions. For example, children may learn about emotion regulation, family dynamics, and skills for handling the effects of trauma. Adolescents may learn about life skills, coping strategies, and how to handle academic stress. Senior adults may learn about topics such as caregiver stress, the loss of a loved one, and managing cognitive impairments that can come with aging.  

The typical length of stay in our inpatient programs is five to seven days, but each patient’s actual length of stay depends on their needs and progress. Stays are often short, as the purpose of our inpatient program is to help patients stabilize as quickly as possible and form a foundation for ongoing healing that allows them to step down to a lower level of care. 

At Montrose Behavioral Health Hospital, we provide various levels of care, including inpatient and outpatient programs designed to help each patient achieve their therapeutic goals. Whether a patient needs the intensive services provided in an inpatient program or the more flexible services provided in an outpatient program, our goal is to provide them with quality mental healthcare.
