Residential Treatment Centers

for Children – What are they and how can they help your child?

Residential Treatment Centers for children are State

Licensed intervention programs for troubled children and adults

who may be experiencing emotional, academic, and/or behavioral

problems.

Instead of wreaking havoc on themselves and their

families children will spend their days in group counselling,

individual and family therapy, and learning how to interact with

peers and adults in a meaningful and healthy way.

For their part, many children find success at Residential

Treatment Centers by learning more about themselves and what drives

their destructive behaviors. The teens are asked to specifically

look at what’s going on in their lives and what kind of decisions

they’ve been making.

Residential Treatment Centers for children provide

the forum for struggling children, teens, and young adults to

evaluate their behaviors.

As a former resident of a Residential Treatment

Center recalls, “You realize what you are doing to yourself

and what you do to others. You can’t explain how it works. It

is magic, it’s intense.”

It’s their parents’ desperate hope that, once it’s

over, they’ll get back the children they once knew.

Residential Treatment Centers for children are different

to military-style boot camps, which rely on humiliation and barked

orders.

Not all Residential Treatment Centers for children

are created equal.
