Treatment focuses on the individual.
We believe in treating each individual and family with a holistic approach. Our multi-disciplinary team designs a program which assures the most effective level of care in the least restrictive environment. Treatment options include Psychiatric Residential Care for our most acutely ill clients, Day Treatment which provides special educational services and counseling to students who are experiencing difficulty succeeding in the typical school environment, Outpatient Treatment which provide individual, marital and family therapy, and the Family Renewal Program - a preventative weekend course for families not in crisis. We're licensed, accredited and certified. We are also licensed as a treatment center by Oregon Children's Services Division, and approved by the Oregon State Department of Education as both an alternative school and a school serving handicapped children.
