Inpatient Treatment for Medical Psychiatric Patients Ages 12 to 17
Patients requiring inpatient treatment are admitted to a modern, secure 16-bed unit, the Judge Bruce M. and Cynthia M. Selya Integrated Care Unit, on the sixth floor of Hasbro Children’s Hospital.
The typical length of stay varies from several days to weeks; some inpatients may step down to the partial hospital program upon discharge.
