EPBH provides inpatient treatment for children ages 2 to 18 years suffering from serious behavioral disorders and/or developmental conditions such as mental retardation or autism who are in need of stabilization, assessment, and treatment for suicidal, destructive, self-injurious, or other dangerous or aggressive behaviors.

Home-based intensive behavioral treatment is for children who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or who have varying degrees of chronic behavior disorders that, if left untreated, would worsen and require more intensive treatment, including psychiatric hospitalization or out-of-home residential placement. Staff members visit a family's home and deliver clinical services to the child on a one-on-one basis. The treatment plan is family-oriented, as it includes all family members in the treatment process. (See also Schedule O)
