UHS Neurobehavioral Systems
Universal Health Services (UHS), Inc. is one of the largest and most experienced hospital management companies in the nation. UHS has focused its efforts on managing acute care hospitals, behavioral health centers, and ambulatory surgery and radiation oncology centers. UHS owns and operates 100 such facilities around the country. UHS Neurobehavioral Systems is a new group within UHS that provides specialized assessment and treatment services for neuropsychiatric and neurobehavioral disorders. UHS Neurobehavioral Systems units are located at psychiatric and medical-surgical hospitals, and in outpatient clinics. The primary focus of the CNS units is the effective treatment of aggressive and/or impulsive juveniles.

When this UHS Neurobehavioral Systems method of neuropsychiatric treatment is applied to long term residential treatment (of impulsively aggressive adolescents), outcome studies have demonstrated positive outcomes ranging from 86% to 90%. Positive outcome means that, after discharge (following six to nine months of residential neuropsychiatric treatment) the patient shows no further violent episodes, no re-hospitalization, no runaways, no incarceration, and has followed the aftercare plan with continuation of school (or work). Outcome studies are in progress for neuropsychiatric treatment in short term, acute UHS Neurobehavioral Systems treatment programs.
