RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITY

Adolescent Residential TreatmentThe KeyStone Center Residential Treatment Facility is a private treatment program created to provide long-term care for adolescent females manifesting chronic psychiatric disorders. The program is a 17- bed unit for female residents from 12-18 years of age. These individuals, due to their conduct problems and/or poor impulse control, have typically failed to succeed in less structured environments such as group homes, wrap around services and day treatment programs. Full time staffing includes psychologists, case managers, art therapist, counselors and a nutritionist, as well as 24- hour access to nursing and psychiatry. Each resident will receive weekly individual, group and family therapy sessions. The RTF has a full time regular education teacher and a full time special education teacher that collaborate with each patient’s home school district. The RTF utilizes a level system that rewards positive behavior and interactions.
