Child Inpatient Treatment

Four Winds Saratoga is one of the few psychiatric hospitals in New York State that treats children between the ages of 5-10. This unique inpatient unit is housed in a separate cottage, named Catlin, that includes its own teaching and learning center and recreational area. The Catlin unit is staffed with a professional, multidisciplinary treatment team, under the supervision of a psychiatrist.

Treatment integrates individual, group and family therapies with a full complement of educational, expressive and recreational therapies. Families are actively involved in treatment planning, family therapy and discharge planning. While a broad range of emotional and behavioral difficulties are treated, each child receives an individualized treatment plan based upon his or her needs.

An important part of the treatment on Catlin is “milieu therapy”. Skill building groups with children and staff encourage coping skills and socialization. Reinforcement of a positive self-image, promoting self-care skills, and responsibility and independence are integrated into the daily routine.
