Intensive Residential Treatment Services 


Intensive Residential Treatment Services

The Intensive Residential Treatment Center is a long-term, 24-hour residential treatment program for youth ages 7 to 18 with psychiatric disorders.  The residential program is specifically designed to offer medically directed care for more seriously troubled youth who require supervision, safety and therapy but do not require inpatient psychiatric care.  The Center provides round-the-clock supervision, locked/secure facilities and numerous other safety and program features. Typically, youth admitted to the Center are unable to function in normal family or community settings.  For many of these high-risk youth, placements in traditional treatment programs have repeatedly failed and reunification with the family shows little promise without stabilizing intervention.

The IRTC program is ideal for youth who have the following problems:

  • Physically assualtive
  • Suicide ideation/threat
  • Homicidal
  • Actively running away
  • Poor impulse control
  • School behavior problems
  • Enuresis
  • Poor social skills
  • Encorpesis
  • Physical and verbal aggression
  • Property destruction
  • Chemical dependence
  • Stealing
  • Sexual issues
