2. Juvenile Sex Offender Treatment Program

At Heartland Behavioral Services we have developed an offender program that is restricted to youths who have committed sexual offenses. The program is dedicated to treating male adolescent sexual offenders between ages of 12-18 years of age.

The Sexual Offender Treatment Program is separate and distinct from other RTC Programs at Heartland. The basic philosophy is that sexual offenders’ cognitive distortion and deviant sexual assault cycles are learned behaviors and can be positively affected through therapeutic and educational programs.

The mission of the Sexual Offender Treatment Program at Heartland is designed to have the juvenile offender accept full ownership of his choices today. The habilitation of the offender reduces the possibility of further offenses, thus creating a safer community.
