The Center has well-qualified, clinical staff.
The Center’s innovative multi-treatment program creatively focuses on the school, home and community environments as milieus for a child’s treatment experience. While there are some elements of traditional out-patient and residential services, individualized, therapeutic treatment is on going, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the Contracted Care Home (CCH) and in the Center. Each child’s day is a fairly “normal” one during which he or she goes to school and returns to a family in the community, whenever possible, in the evenings and on weekends. CCH parents, therapists, teachers and clinical staff work closely together to provide support to expand the socialization and accountability of each child far beyond what is available in most treatment settings.
Clinical team members treating children include a family therapist, a drug and alcohol counselor, individual therapists, and case assistants.
A team is formed for each child that brings together the array of expertise needed to provide an individualized program of therapy to the child and family. A Master’s level clinician and case assistant is assigned to each child to provide therapy and remain resourcefully active in that child’s treatment.
