Children's Day Treatment Programs

The Children’s Day Treatment Program provides intensive, comprehensive intervention to children and adolescents with severe behavior disturbances using a “day treatment” model.   This is a less costly alternative to inpatient care, yet still provides the multi-faceted, long-term care required.
