BayPointe is located in west Mobile on a beautiful 15-acre campus. We provide short-term stabilization in an inpatient setting
and long-term treatment in a residential setting for children and adolescents exhibiting suicidal, aggressive or other unsafe behaviors. Our multidisciplinary team fosters self-control and self-regulation in a compassionate, safe environment characterized by dignity and respect.
