Grafton School Integrated Health Network offers a short term stabilization program, which acts as a short term psychiatric residential stabilization and community based triage service. It includes outcome-oriented, person and family centered individualized treatment. The twenty-four hour trauma-informed program serves children and adolescents ages twelve to seventeen. Intensive intervention focuses upon the child, the family, and the community. The length of stay is typically between 30-45 days.
