Child & Adolescent Inpatient Services
Children and teenagers can struggle with mental health issues just the same as adults. In the U.S., more than 16 percent of kids under age 18 – or one out of six – experience a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety or substance use. Yet nearly half do not receive treatment. The good news is that early intervention produces better long-term outcomes.
At Bourbon Community Hospital, we provide high-quality, evidenced-based behavioral health services designed to meet the unique needs of children and adolescents throughout the community.
