Sandy Pines Hospital in Jupiter, Florida, provides residential care for children and teens ages 5–17 struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, self-harm, substance use, and more. With over 149 beds, it is the largest child-focused behavioral health hospital in the Southeast, offering specialized programs tailored to each age group and need. Their care approach includes individual, group, and family therapy, and trauma-focused counseling to restructure negative thought patterns, regulate emotion, and improve relationships. Recreational therapy, art, music, and a positive reinforcement system help children build confidence, improve coping skills, and develop healthy emotional and social behaviors. Military families can access specialized TRICARE-approved services. Children stay in private or shared rooms across six secure units, with daily meals, school programs through accredited Riverbend Academy, and access to playgrounds, a swimming pool, and an on-site store and arcade. Family visits, phone calls, and spiritual services support connection and healing. The environment balances safety, comfort, and positive social interaction. From admission, the team works on aftercare planning, including referrals to outpatient providers, community support, and school reintegration resources. The hospital’s family-focused approach ensures parents and caregivers are part of the recovery journey, helping young people continue their progress long after leaving Sandy Pines.
