Lincoln Prairie Behavioral Health Center

We provide psychiatric treatment to children and adolescents. We have 88 beds for boys and girls, ages 3-17. Model representations of real patients are shown.

Inpatient – our Inpatient care provides a safe, nurturing and comfortable setting for patients seeking acute care. MISA/Dual Diagnosis – we offer specialized programming for our Inpatient adolescents who are seeking treatment for mental health and substance abuse disorders. Partial Hospitalization – we offer intensive and structured treatment similar to the Inpatient program, but your child is able to continue working on their treatment in the family and community setting. This is often a step down program for those who no longer meet the criteria for our Inpatient unit. Outpatient – we offer therapy provided by Bachelors and Masters level professionals who will help your child with individual treatment plans to address any social, school, community and family issues.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more than just the “winter blues.” It is a specific kind of major depressive disorder in which the symptoms present with a “seasonal pattern.” For kids with SAD, the onset of a depressive episode occurs repeatedly at a particular time of the year, such as winter. When the season changes, the symptoms most often subside.
