The socio-pedagogical-psychiatric model ward SOMOSA offers an inpatient 6- to 12-month intensive treatment program for 14- to 18-year-old clients who are in a severe adolescent crisis. The goal of the treatment is to stabilize the clients' personalities to the extent that they can cope with the existing supportive or replacement socialization systems upon discharge.
