Focus

At this center, you receive personalized care for mental health conditions. They provide therapy and tailor treatment to your unique needs, diagnoses, and preferences.

This center provides a structured environment for healing and offers 24-hour residential care for boys ages 12–17 facing challenges such as trauma, anger, stress, and emotional regulation. The program supports a wide range of mental health needs and includes a licensed sexual rehabilitative unit for youth who have engaged in or are at risk for sexually harmful behaviors. Therapists use trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trust-based relational intervention (TBRI), a trauma-informed model that centers on connection, empowerment, and behavior change. Staff deliver daily services that include individual sessions, psychoeducation, recreation therapy, and medical support. They also coordinate psychiatric evaluations, medication adjustments, and ongoing assessments to align care with each youth’s treatment goals. Residents share rooms with adjacent bathrooms and use laundry facilities on each unit. A nutritionist plans meals and includes daily snacks. Licensed teachers run small class-size schooling that follows the individualized education program (IEP) and the state curriculum. Youth participate in gym and outdoor activities and earn therapeutic outings to parks, restaurants, and movie theaters as they make progress.
