Oaklawn offers a full continuum of evidence-based services for children, adolescents, adults, and families, including inpatient psychiatric care, outpatient therapy with a Group First model emphasizing peer support and skills training, psychiatric evaluations and medication management, intensive residential programs, crisis response with 24/7 mobile teams and walk-in centers, addiction treatment including medication-assisted therapy and harm reduction, housing and homeless outreach via the PATH program, specialized services for the Amish community, first episode psychosis through Insight, and transition support for youth via TIP. Targeting diverse populations such as the underserved, those with co-occurring disorders, and the homeless, Oaklawn employs trauma-informed, culturally competent approaches to foster recovery, community safety, and long-term wellness, partnering with schools, law enforcement, and faith communities to address gaps in behavioral health infrastructure.
