5 shuttering mental health facilities

Several mental health treatment sites have closed or shared plans to close in the last month.

Here are five behavioral health clinic closures to know:

1. Lancaster, Pa.-based Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development, the only outpatient pediatric therapy clinic in the area, ended its behavioral health services due to a lack of providers. The facility said it had been trying to recruit providers since the spring without success.

2. St. Luke's Behavioral Health Center, a behavioral health hospital in Phoenix owned by Steward Health Care, was ordered to suspend operations by state officials after temperatures inside the facility reached 99 degrees Fahrenheit. The hospital's more than 200 employees have since been furloughed

3. The Steward-affiliated Trumbull Regional Medical Center in Warren, Ohio, including its 35-bed psychiatric unit, announced plans to close at the end of August, ABC affiliate WKBN reported Aug. 21. City leaders are fundraising to save the facility from closing. 

4. Bartlett Regional Hospital in Juneau, Alaska, shut down programs at its recently opened Aurora Behavioral Health Center due to lack of funding and staff, Juneau Empire reported July 24. 

5. Helping Others Take Initiative, a mental health treatment facility in Waco, Texas, operated by the Heart of Texas Behavioral Health Network, shuttered due to lack of funding, ABC affiliate KXXV reported July 18.
