Natchaug Hospital provides a full range of inpatient psychiatric and substance-abuse treatment for children, adolescents and adults at our 57-bed Mansfield Center facility. The highly qualified, experienced and dedicated professional staff of Natchaug Hospital provides expert care in a supportive, therapeutic setting – helping people regain their stability and return as soon as possible to their own homes.
In 2004 Natchaug Hospital opened a 13-bed transitional living community on its Mansfield Center campus to provide intensive, comprehensive mental health treatment and special education for adolescent girls.
When people need intensive, comprehensive treatment for psychiatric and chemical dependency issues but do not need inpatient or residential hospital care, Natchaug offers intensive, structured clinical treatment in programs that may include up to 6-hours of treatment a day, five days a week.
These intensive treatment programs can help prevent the need for hospitalization. They can also help people make the transition to home after inpatient or residential treatment. Natchaug brings this clinical care closer to people’s homes by offering programs throughout Eastern Connecticut.
For adults, Natchaug offers four partial hospital and intensive outpatient day and evening treatment programs:

This special program, funded in part by the Connecticut Department of Children and Families, supports children and adolescents who have emotional or behavioral health issues that put them at risk of needing psychiatric residential or inpatient care. The Extended Day Treatment program is particularly helpful for children with special needs who are in foster care.
IICAPS (Intensive In-Home Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Services)
Natchaug Hospital’s Norwich-based program is one of 18 IICAPS programs run by other agencies around the state, all participating in training and quality assurance with IICAPS Services at the Yale University Child Study Center. Developed to help meet the needs of families with children with persistent psychiatric disorders, the program typically lasts 6 months with 2-3 meetings per week in the home.
IICAP Services are paid for by the Connecticut Behavioral Health Program, (CT-BHP) or CSSD.
Natchaug’s work with Connecticut’s juvenile justice programs includes conducting intensive short-term and intermediate evaluations for the juvenile courts in Willimantic and Waterford. Outpatient services are also part of the Adolescent Treatment Program for the juvenile courts of Willimantic, Middletown and Rockville. Also for Willamantic, Waterford, Middletown and Rockville juvenile courts, Natchaug provides DCF-funded evaluation services.
Natchaug’s clinical day treatment programs, which are approved by the Connecticut Department of Education, offer special education services to students in grades 1 – 12 whose social, emotional or behavioral health problems prevent them from functioning successfully in a regular school environment.
Each student’s individual academic and clinical treatment plan is designed to address their special needs and return them to their regular schools as soon as possible. Natchaug’s special education programs are offered at seven locations:

Natchaug works closely with other providers of care for mental health and chemical dependency to help people find the care they need as close to home as possible.
For example, Natchaug operates ENTRI, a telephone triage and referral program that is available seven days a week, 24-hours a day referring people in crisis to the nearest provider best suited to their particular problem.
