State of Washington Social & Health Services Dept

The State of Washington Social & Health Services Department offers the Children's Long-term Inpatient Program (CLIP), providing the most intensive psychiatric inpatient treatment for youth ages 5-17 diagnosed with severe psychiatric disorders. With four secure programs and a total of 109 beds, CLIP focuses on individualized treatment through evidence-based practices to support skill development and reintegration into community settings.

Eligibility for CLIP requires youth to be legal residents of Washington State with a diagnosis that poses a risk to themselves or others, where community-based resources have been insufficient. The referral process begins at the county level through the youth's health insurance provider, facilitating a structured approach to ensure appropriate care and collaboration among community partners.
