HopeWay – a Joint Commission accredited nonprofit mental health treatment organization – announced today that its new programs serving teens with mental health disorders and teens and young adults with eating disorders are now open and accepting admissions. HopeWay’s new programs are located in east Charlotte in a development called Oakhurst Commons.
Their Teen Mental Health Program and Teen & Young Adult Eating Disorder Programs – located in an 18,716 square-foot space at 4014 Monroe Road – feature physician-led, evidence-based Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) built on HopeWay’s proven model of care, which includes psychotherapy, medication management, integrative therapies, on-site educational support, and more. The HopeWay team treats mental health diagnoses in teens and eating disorders in teens and young adults who attend treatment during the day and return home after programming.
“The need for care and programming for adolescents and young adults is severe and immediate, so we are thrilled about opening these new programs,” said Hopeway’s Dr. Alyson R. Kuroski-Mazzei. “We know our model of care works, and we are excited and confident to expand HOPE and bring additional mental health resources to this younger age group.”
The following are some statistics about adolescent and young adult mental health and eating disorders:
- More than 2.5 million youth in the U.S. have severe major depression, and over 60 percent of youth with major depression do not receive treatment.
- Suicide is the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-34.
- Eating disorders among adolescents have doubled since the start of the pandemic, and patients are presenting with more severe symptoms.
HopeWay welcomes referrals from self, families or loved ones, mental health organizations, providers, schools, or hospitals.
