Each client has a multi-disciplinary team consisting of a physician, psychiatrist, master’s level therapist, registered dietitian and a certified teacher (if appropriate). Our nursing staff works 24 hours a day making sure that all of our clients’ medical needs are being addressed consistently. Our team has been assembled to bring excellence and experience to all of our clients and families.

To assure continuity of the educational process, The Hearth has a certified teacher who ensures that clients progress academically during treatment. While therapy is priority, clients receive up to 3 hours of academic time per day, 5 days a week.
