St. Luke's University Health Network

St. Luke’s Adolescent Behavioral Health Unit in Easton, Pennsylvania is an adolescent inpatient mental health treatment center located within the St. Luke’s University Health Network hospital system. This 16-bed hospital-based inpatient treatment program serves adolescents and teens ages 12 through 18 who are experiencing acute mental health crises that significantly impact daily functioning, emotional well-being, and family life. The specialized unit provides a structured therapeutic environment designed to stabilize symptoms and support recovery for young people living with anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, impulse control disorders, conduct disorder, trauma-related disorders, and stress related to school or situational challenges.

Clinical care is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, case managers, and behavioral health specialists who develop individualized treatment plans based on each patient’s diagnosis, history, and personal triggers. Core services include psychiatric services, comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, psychosocial assessment, medication management, individual counseling, family therapy, care coordination, discharge planning, educational support services, recreation therapy, and life skills training. Treatment integrates recovery-oriented care and therapeutic activities such as creative arts therapy to help adolescents build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, strengthen communication, and prepare for a safe transition back to community-based outpatient care following inpatient stabilization.
