Maines First Youth Psychiatric Facility: A New Hope for Families
Maine is set to open its first youth psychiatric residential treatment facility, located on Sweetsers campus in Saco. This eight-thousand-square-foot center will provide intensive clinical care for up to sixteen patients under eighteen years old, addressing the growing demand for local help. Previously, Maine children had to waitlist for psychiatric treatment, with nearly five hundred kids on the waitlist as of January 2025. The new facility aims to offer a safer and more comfortable option for at-risk young people, reducing the need for emergency room visits or distant care.
