We begin by assessing those needs with a physical examination and treatment team evaluation.
Psychological testing is conducted as necessary to develop a proper course of treatment.
All programs use peer group and individual counseling sessions within the highly structured services. The importance of family involvement is emphasized in the family education and counseling sessions offered. During treatment, youth are observed for unidentified, co-existing problems requiring further clinical assessment. Referral workers and other appropriate individuals receive regular progress reports outlining treatment status and any changes in the case plan. When a child leaves our care, we attempt to facilitate specialized transitional care and community-based aftercare services as needed.
