How is a residential program supposed to help my child?
A multi-disciplinary treatment team plans and oversees your child’s treatment in the residential program. Your child is a member of the treatment team, as well as program staff and other service providers involved in his or her care and treatment. The program notifies you when treatment team meetings are scheduled and encourages and values your involvement and input. Based on an assessment of your child’s needs, the treatment team develops an individualized performance plan with goals for your child to complete before being released from the program. Completion of these goals increases your child’s chances for success and decreases the likelihood that he or she will re-offend.
