Adolescent Sex Offenders Program
The adolescent sex offenders program is a residential treatment for male and female juvenile sex offenders between the ages of 12 and 18. Empowering adolescents by discontinuing maladaptive behaviors is the ultimate goal of the program. The program provides repetitive learning scenarios with increasing levels of freedom and privileges.

Discharge Planning
Discharge planning begins on the day of admission with input from the referring professional by establishing short-term and long-term treatment goals for each adolescent.
