Adult Treatment Services
Comprehensive inpatient care for adults
The Adult Treatment Program provides the structure, expertise, and compassion you need to begin healing. Our team specializes in helping adults with complex psychiatric concerns find stability, relief, and a clear path forward.
At Menninger, treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Our clinicians design an individualized plan for you, drawing on a century of experience and the latest evidence-based therapies. From admission to discharge, we collaborate closely with you, your loved ones, and your referring providers to ensure care fits your needs and supports long-term success.
Who we help
We care for adults, ages 18 and older, who may be experiencing:
-
Mood and anxiety disorders
-
Trauma-related conditions
-
Personality disorders
-
Co-occurring substance use concerns
-
Thought disorders, such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder
Many of the people we treat are struggling with more than one condition, or they may have tried outpatient or residential programs without finding relief. Our program is designed for these complex challenges.
What treatment looks like
Your care team builds a structured plan that balances intensive therapy with opportunities for rest, reflection, and growth. Treatment may include:
-
Initial stabilization of symptoms if necessary
-
Psychiatric care from a board-certified physician
-
Individual, group, and family therapy when indicated
-
Medication management
-
Evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-focused approaches
-
Health and wellness support, including nutrition, fitness, and recreation therapy
We also address practical needs such as relapse prevention, coping strategies, and reintegration into daily life. Every element is chosen intentionally to move you toward recovery.
Adult Treatment supports adults at different stages in life, including young adults. When possible and clinically appropriate, patients ages 18–30 may be grouped together to explore age-specific concerns such as independence, identity development, relationships, and transitions into adulthood.
Grouping within the program is guided by clinical needs, therapeutic goals, and patient mix. All patients receive individualized care and benefit from a diverse treatment community.
For some young adults, Menninger’s Pathfinder or Bridge programs may be recommended as part of ongoing care.
When indicated, we may also recommend consultation with psychology services, which can include individual therapy and psychological testing. Some assessments may be available on a private pay basis. Our Admissions staff can help you understand options and expectations prior to admission.
