Recommendations for Care

The assessment team at McDowell Center is always ready to help parents, caregivers, and providers when their child or client is struggling with their mental health. It’s not always easy to know what to do when a child is in distress, so our team is dedicated to helping families and referring agencies find the best treatment options for children and teens. Our assessment team is trained and licensed to determine which treatment options are appropriate depending on the patient’s symptoms and the severity of their illness. When residential treatment is not the best option for the patient, we’ll work closely with juvenile agencies, insurance companies, outpatient providers, and other support services to coordinate the appropriate referral services for the client and their family.
