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.
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 Juvenile Justice Intermediate Evaluations (JJIE) for the juvenile courts in Willimantic and Waterford. Natchaug also performs office-based evaluations for court-referred youth and sees a very large number of court-referred and court-involved youth for treatment at all levels of care, including inpatient, ambulatory, and school programs. Finally, Natchaug operates the only secure residential program for delinquent girls in the state of Connecticut at Journey House.
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 eight locations:
Natchaug also provides special education services to the Norwich Board of Education’s Deborah Tennant-Zinewicz and Hickory Street Schools. |

The Young Adult Program is where 18- to 25-year olds can feel comfortable dealing with the issues that are unique to their stage of life. The Program serves men and women in this age group who are struggling due to mental illness, occupational or educational problems, relationship issues, family conflict, addictions or other influences that interfere with their day-to-day functioning.
In order to minimize conflicts with school or work, the program is run Monday through Friday during the afternoon. The length of treatment generally runs six to eight weeks depending on the individual needs of the patient.
Although patients are not required to inform their family of their treatment, the decision about whether or not to involve their family is an important one. Patients are encouraged to include anyone who will be a support to them throughout treatment.

Psychiatric, Psychological, and Neuropsychological evaluations are often helpful to school districts when there are concerns about an aspect of a student’s functioning that impacts his or her presentation or performance at school. Natchaug Hospital provides evaluations to generate information that can aid in determining if a student has a disability requiring supportive services at school. Such evaluations also provide further information to the planning and placement team about the identified areas of concern and suggest appropriate interventions for remediation.
Natchaug Hospital’s clinical teams use a variety of interview techniques and assessment tools to generate recommendations for school interventions and follow up care. Psychiatric, Psychological and Neuropsychological evaluations can be requested to gain information and insight on:
- School avoidance
- Social functioning
- Emotional Functioning
- Psychiatric diagnoses
- Behavior problems
- Level of risk
- Learning, academic, cognitive functioning
