Old Vineyard Behavioral Health Services said today that it is eliminating at least 79 full-time jobs as part of ending adolescent psychiatric-residential treatment at the facility.
The provider said on Sept. 16 that it had notified state regulators it was ending the program to make room for a 50-bed psychiatric emergency department.
That move includes ending a program for adolescent sex offenders with aggressive behavioral tendencies. Those services are monitored around-the-clock in a lockdown setting
