The programs and services of the Murphy-Harpst
Centers recognize the importance of the family in the treatment
of a child or teenager. If a viable family member –
or family members – are available and willing, Murphy-Harpst
encourages family members to participate in the assessment
process, the development of the treatment plan, treatment
updates, family therapy, family visits, and agency-wide family
days. Available families are required to help develop the
discharge plans when their child is admitted and to carry
them out (if family reunification is the goal) at the time
treatment is completed.
For families who are seeking help with their child, Murphy-Harpst’s
admissions director, in consultation with the clinical team
if needed, can provide information regarding available community
resources and how to contact and access these resources. In
some cases the family might be assisted in the referral process;
in others, a contact name to help with this process can be
provided.
Admissions personnel can be reached at the Murphy-Harpst
headquarters on the Harpst campus at 770-748-1500 ext. 225.
