GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — BHSH Spectrum Health West Michigan has announced that it will be opening a new behavioral health youth clinic. The clinic will be located at 1545 68th Street Southeast, Suite 200, in Grand Rapids.
The clinic will help adolescents and young adults between the ages of 15-25, which is when chronic mental illness and addictions can begin to form. It will work on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating youth to help them transition into adulthood.
The clinic’s services will include psychiatry, psychological testing, and psychotherapy to address mental health needs, including anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, and other diagnoses.
“Half of mental illnesses begin by age 14,” said Dr. Subodh Jain, division chief of psychiatry at BHSH Spectrum Health West Michigan. “By opening this clinic and targeting care to this age group, we hope to be able to care for patients early which is key for successful treatment.”
