Additional components of treatment for adolescents are:

Pathways’ intent is to allow the student to fulfill, with minimal interruption, basic school requirements during treatment at Pathways, whether or not the individual is enrolled in school. Fully licensed professionals provide instruction based on the student’s home school curriculum. The Educational Team Leader for this program is a Masters-level Maryland certified special education teacher.

Age appropriate social and leisure skills
Partial Hospitalization Program is offered to patients who are medically stable and can be treated at a lower level of care than Inpatient. Program hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, which allows patients the opportunity to live at home with their family and/or significant others. The program phases and components are similar to the Inpatient Program. The Program also has a boarder component that allows patients to stay overnight at Pathways for a minimal fee.
