    I live in MO. There ar a few here that I know of… But I would just get on yellow pages and search or ask your doctor and they can recommend one.
    The one here, my sister is a nurse there, it called Center Pointe in St. Charles Mo.
    But just from experience-and what my sister has told me-the hospital is for extreme situations-you may want to try out patient counseling first. Good Luck!

    first off i wouldn’t go surfing through yellow pages for something like that. get a recommendation from a doctor or therapist. truly if a therapist/psychiatrist thinks the teen needs to be hospitalized then it’s a good idea. otherwise try outpatient counseling like the other answer suggested. hospital are for extreme cases, and if your teens case isn’t extreme it’ll be worse for the teen being admitted there. he/she will see all kinds of things that could make his/her situation worse. try baby steps first, and if you’re beyond that then get a recommendation from a doctor.

    good luck.
