3East at McLean Hospital is a premier, highly specialized, self-funded treatment program for individuals who are exhibiting self-endangering behaviors and emerging borderline personality traits that may present as depression, anxiety, impulsivity, eating disorders, substance use disorder, post-traumatic stress or self-injury.
The program specializes in intensive dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a therapy originally developed for adults with borderline personality disorder that has been applied with success to adolescents with similar psychological profiles.
3East now offers three levels of individualized care; enabling patients to fully benefit from ongoing, consistent treatment and support at varying levels of care:
- 3East Residential Intensive. A program for young women, ages 13 through 20.
- 3East Residential Step-down. A program for "graduates" of the "3East Residential Intensive" treatment, ages 13 through 20.
- 3East Day Program. A mixed-gender, non-residential day program, for individuals, ages 13 through 20, who live in the surrounding area or have completed the 3East Residential Intensive program and reside on the 3East Step-down unit.
To learn more about other opportunities that exist for individuals needing support outside of the hospital setting, i.e., work or school, please contact the program at the phone number and email listed above.
