About this facility

Lakeview Center’s Meridian program provides inpatient psychiatric treatment for children and adolescents aged 7 to 17 with serious emotional and behavioral challenges. This statewide residential program offers 24-hour supervision and intensive care for Medicaid-eligible youth requiring structured treatment in a safe environment. Their approach is trauma-informed, focusing on each child’s unique experiences and reactions. The multidisciplinary team uses psychotherapeutic interventions to help children cope with emotional triggers, supporting their mental health and reducing risk of substance misuse. This method helps kids build emotional safety and resilience. Residents live in a secure, community-based setting where they receive continuous supervision and care. The program emphasizes a structured environment that promotes healing and growth, helping children regain stability and prepare to live fuller lives with their families and communities.
