Cumberland Hospital - Chronic Illness Admissions

Cumberland’s Chronic Illness Program provides a structured environment for medical supervision and treatment of the underlying emotional, social and behavioral challenges preventing successful self-management. Our program helps patients learn healthy ways to live with their illness.

The admission criteria are as follows:

• A chronic illness diagnosis
• 2-22 years of age
• Inability to function independently at an age-appropriate level in any of the following areas:
• self-care
• mood stability
• school

Individuals may exhibit a specific pattern of self-destruction and behaviors inconsistent with responsible management of their chronic illness.
