<P> Juvenile wards are sections of psychiatric hospitals or psychiatric wards set aside for children or adolescents with mental illness . However, there are a number of institutions specializing only in the treatment of juveniles, particularly when dealing with drug abuse, self - harm, eating disorders, anxiety, depression or other mental illness . </P> <P> In the UK long - term care facilities are now being replaced with smaller secure units (some within the hospitals listed above). Modern buildings, modern security and being locally sited to help with reintegration into society once medication has stabilized the condition are often features of such units . An example of this is the Three Bridges Unit, in the grounds of Hanwell Asylum in West London and the John Munroe Hospital in Staffordshire . However these modern units have the goal of treatment and rehabilitation back into society within a short time - frame (two or three years) and not all patients' treatment can meet this criterion, so the large hospitals mentioned above often retain this role . </P> <P> These hospitals provide stabilization and rehabilitation for those who are having difficulties such as depression, eating disorders, other mental disorders, and so on . </P> <P> One type of institution for the mentally ill is a community - based halfway house . These facilities provide assisted living for patients with mental illnesses for an extended period of time, and often aid in the transition to self - sufficiency . These institutions are considered to be one of the most important parts of a mental health system by many psychiatrists, although some localities lack sufficient funding . </P>
