The Child & Adolescent
Center at Rogers Memorial Hospital combines the intensity
of a high staff to patient ratio with the treatment intensity of
a child psychiatry inpatient unit, that is combined with activity-abased
therapy. The comprehensive program is for boys and girls ages 12-17
who are dealing with ADHD, depression, anxiety disorders, chemical
dependency and/or family issues and is licensed as a psychiatric
hospital by the State of Wisconsin and accredited by the Joint
Commission of Accreditation for Health Care. Each adolescent
has a treatment team that can include: child psychiatrist, psychologist,
physician, registered psychiatric nurse, social worker, Master’s
level clinical therapist, teacher, school liaison, and Master’s level
experiential therapists. The program has on-site access to expert
resources, and the Rogers Memorial-Oconomowoc medical staff are available
for consultation about concerns with eating disorders, obsessive
compulsive disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and
drug and alcohol dependency.
Located on 50 wooded acres of lakefront property, it is equipped with
two gymnasiums, a weight room, indoor climbing wall, ropes and challenge
course, with canoeing, biking, and camping available. The Center is
managed by a certified recreational therapist with 20 years experience
in adventure-based learning in psychiatric and residential settings
and provides 30 to 45 treatment days with longer treatment options
available. Regular psychotherapy sessions with a child psychiatrist
are provided after a comprehensive assessment is completed and the
development of an individualized treatment plan is established.
Peter Lake, M/D., the Medical Director of Child & Adolescent
Services at RMH, described the Child & Adolescent Center as “a
natural extension of our other child and adolescent services, which
include inpatient, day treatment and our Challenge Camp for children
with ADHD. The Child and Adolescent Center treatment program has a
strong emphasis on psychiatric education and therapy, as well as developing
insight to improve self-esteem and deal with problems in behavior,
socialization and family relationships.”
