Specialized Treatment Programs

Sexually Reactive Program: 9-12 year old males. Children in this program typically engage in sexually inappropriate behavior as a result of their being sexually abused. Special emphasis is directed toward balancing the child's need to address personal victimization and exploitation issues with the need to address his sexually inappropriate behavior.

Cognitively Impaired Program: This program is designed to individualize standard treatment protocols to the individual's level of functioning, method of learning, and ability to manage impulses.

Adolescent program: 13-17 years old males. This program is designed to serve multi-problemed, hypersexual, and sexually reactive adolescents who have engaged in contact or non-contact sexualized behaviors.


Trauma Informed Care

When working with adolescents that exhibit sexualized behaviors, it is often times found that they have their own trauma history. This victimization can take many forms, and may include; sexual abuse, emotional neglect, physical abuse, exploitation, or substance abuse. Their past trauma can have a profound impact on their current level of functioning. Without addressing this, meaningful and permanent therapeutic change can be difficult. Trauma Informed Care provides for an environment and specialized services that are responsive to our residents' unique needs. By addressing current symptoms in light of the residents' history, meaningful change can be achieved.

Person Centered Planning

Individualized treatment plans are developed in full partnership with our residents. Goals and objectives are outcome based and developed with the youth's unique strengths, needs, abilities, and preferences in mind. Treatment planning is a collaborative process that involves the youth, his guardian, and referral source.
