If they live in Northern VA, the Merrifield mental health center is responsible for finding beds for local people. There are very few beds around here for children and teens--they might find a bed in a more quality facility in PA.

He’s 14. I think they want Adventist here when he is safe to travel. But thanks!



My son has been in Adventist a number of times. They have an amazing psychiatrist both at the inpatient and the PHP. I have been really pleased with the program each time my son has been there.


Thank you. I will pass that on.
