Specialized Treatment Group Home Services

Boys Town Specialized Treatment Group Homes are a medically directed and secure treatment program for youths ages 10 to 18.  The Homes provide effective treatment within a family-oriented environment for youth with psychiatric disorders.

• Physical and verbally aggressive
• Poor impulse control
