More about Gulf Coast Treatment Center

Founded in 1996, the facility provides comprehensive mental healthcare and education services for at-risk female adolescents, their families, and the broader community. The center is affiliated with Universal Health Services (UHS), one of the nation's largest healthcare management companies, as evidenced by its career portal hosted on UHS's platform. The facility is relatively small, with an estimated 11-50 employees and reported revenue between $1M and $5M. For nursing professionals, Gulf Coast Treatment Center offers opportunities in adolescent psychiatric nursing, with RN roles focused on serving as primary care coordinators within an interdisciplinary team.

Available positions have included night shifts (11p-7a) and evening shifts (3p-11p), with expectations to cover additional shifts as needed. The facility's niche focus on adolescent female psychiatric care provides a specialized clinical environment, though employee reviews indicate significant challenges in workplace culture, management, and work-life balance.
