About
Friends Hospital is a private psychiatric hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The hospital describes itself as one of the nation's first private psychiatric hospitals, founded in 1813, and its current website lists inpatient and crisis services for adolescents and adults (Friends Hospital).
The hospital's programs include adolescent inpatient treatment, adult behavioral health services, older-adult services, crisis response, and related outpatient or assessment resources. A Camden County youth mental-health resource lists Friends as providing inpatient services for adolescents ages 13-17 and young adults (Friends Hospital programs, Camden County resource).
Friends Hospital is included in youth-treatment advocacy directories because of its adolescent inpatient psychiatric services, but it is also a long-running general psychiatric hospital rather than a private therapeutic boarding school (r/troubledteens wiki).
