History
Southwood Psychiatric Hospital was built and founded in 1984. Since its opening, the traditional acute care inpatient services for children and adolescents have grown to include a variety of hospital and community-based programs. These expansions included the opening of several Long-term Residential Treatment Programs, as well as a variety of community- based services, including Family-based Services which is an in-home program. A private academic school license enhances the treatment services. The school currently serves both students in residence at Southwood, as well as "Day" students that are approved for specialized education services.
Southwood currently has a thirty-three (33) bed acute inpatient service utilized for crisis stabilization for children and adolescents. The program utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a treatment model with a strong focus on family involvement.
Southwood's residential treatment program currently consists of four programs, consisting of 115 beds for boys ages 6 to 21. These residential programs utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a treatment model and all require family / legal guardian involvement with the ultimate treatment goal being reintegration back into the community . The four programs currently offered are: 1) Mental Retardation / Mental Health Dual Diagnosis (MRDD) RTF located in Bridgeville, Pa., 2) Sexually Maladaptive Behaviors (SMB) RTF located at the main hospital site in Upper St. Clair, Pa., 3) Psychiatric RTF located outside of Washington, Pa in the town of Prosperity and 4) A Level II Transitional / Step-down RTF at this same location.
Southwood also offers an eight (8) bed transitional living program which offers pre-independent living skills to adolescent males.
Southwood Hospital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Youth and Family Centered Services, Inc.
