Inpatient Programs
Adolescent Eating Disorders Program
The mission of the Eating Disorders Program is to provide outstanding treatment services tailored to the individual's needs, for children, adolescents, and adults with eating disorders. The program strives to simultaneously restore physical well-being by facilitating adaptive eating behaviors and enhance emotional well-being by targeting dysfunctional beliefs and self-perceptions and addressing psychosocial issues. Our multidisciplinary team provides specialized treatment across a continuum of care, ranging from comprehensive, full-time, hospital-based treatment (first inpatient care, then partial hospitalization), to outpatient groups and outpatient pharmacologic management.

Adolescent and Child Hospitalization Program
The Adolescent and Child Hospitalization Program serves teenagers and children who require inpatient treatment for a variety of psychiatric disorders, including conduct disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, autism and other developmental disorders, and other complex neurobehavioral disorders. We also often see patients with psychiatric disorders that are associated with or complicated by learning disabilities, neurological disorders such as epilepsy, and other chronic medical illnesses. Hospitalization goals include crisis intervention, evaluation and diagnosis, and medication stabilization. The program has been organized to create a therapeutic behavioral milieu, structured around positive reinforcement.
Partial Hospitalization Programs
ABC Partial Program
The ABC Partial Hospitalization Program for the Enhancement of Achievement, Behavior, and Cognition at the Neuropsychiatric Institute at UCLA is a short-term integrated program dedicated to assisting children aged 6-12 and their families to promote positive emotional and behavioral health. Our program is based upon the most current evidence-based research.
