A multidisciplinary approach is used to complete psychiatric, psychological, behavioral, substance abuse, and educational assessments. The Diagnostic program is highly structured and utilizes reinforcement schedules to assist youth in readjusting their behaviors.

The General Residential program provides a consistent and nurturing environment where youth can build and reinforce pro-social behaviors. The treatment team provides a homelike environment that teaches appropriate social skills and reinforces alternative positive behaviors.
