Many Connecticut short-term public and private hospitals offer mental health services to teenagers and young adults, according to the Office of Health Care Advocacy. The services range from acute inpatient psychiatric hospitalization for those in need of rapid stabilization to outpatient services.

Both agencies contract with public and private facilities to provide mental health treatment.
