    What You Need to Know When Your Child Is Admitted to a Psychiatric Facility

    About this ebook

    What You Need to Know When Your Child is Admitted to a Psychiatric Facility is a concise 5,300 word article which briefly covers standard practices and treatment in child and adolescent psych units. Also offered is information for parents about billing, follow up treatment, and communicating with the unit staff. I am currently a clinician on a children’s psych unit in Florida, and I have worked for years on child, adult and geriatric psych units in multiple states. The specific laws, policies and operating procedures of any particular psych unit will likely vary greatly by state and facility. This article is meant as a general overview, based primarily on the workings of the unit I am now on. Any mistakes in this article are my own.
