RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAM:

The Residential Treatment Program supports a 14 bed unit which houses coed youth that range from 13 to 16 years and 4 months of age and are court ordered.  The unit is a secure treatment program where residents are eligible to earn weekend home visits, recreational activities, and participate in community service projects.  As residents progress through the a seven phase system they are expected to assume additional responsibilities within the program, at home, and in the community. The program ranges from 6 to 12 months in length depending on the youth's progress in treatment.
