Havenwyck Impulse Disorder Program
Havenwyck's Impulse Disorder Program is a 26-bed
licensed and secured residential program specifically designed for children
and adolescents ages 11-17, with emotional and/or behavioral sex offending symptoms,
which require them to be in a secure 24-hour supervised therapeutic sex offending
setting.
Children and adolescents in the Impulse Disorder
Program have been unable to function successfully at home, in school and in
their social relationships. They are accepted into the program to develop a
deeper understanding of themselves, their families, their sex offending problems;
and to develop more healthy and adaptive behaviors. The youngsters attend Havenwyck's
state approved on-ground school.
The unique design of the residential program
provides the most current "state-of-the-art" sex offender treatment techniques
including; cognitive restructuring, relapse prevention, and covert desensitization
therapies, as well as other innovative approaches.
Our objectives are to:
- Provide sex offender treatment resulting in
freedom from sexual deviant behaviors
- Examine and modify patterns of deviant sexual
arousal
- Develop victim empathy and remorse for their
actions
- Develop an understanding of sexual offending
as a mood-altering behavior
- Establish more positive anger management techniques
- Develop more social relationships skills
- Assist the families in being vehicles for
change
- Discharge the individual to the least restrictive
environment or home as soon as possible
The program facilitates a multi-disciplinary
intensive sex offender treatment program which includes individual, group, psychopharmacology,
family and activity therapies; as well as a variety of multi-disciplinary and
substance abuse groups.
