Residential Treatment Services

Boys Residential Treatment

Long-term program designed to assist male youths in developing more effective daily managment skills. This cognitive-behavioral program is based upon a level system of privileges and rewards for appropriate behavior. Patients participate in individual, group and family therapy, with an emphasis on personal responsibility. The patients also attend school during their stay, affording them the opportunity to catch up and maintain their grade level.

Girls Residential Treatment

The Girls' Residential Treatment Center is designed to serve the needs of adolescent females, aged 12-18. Young ladies participating in the program will work on developing effective life management skills. Patients who have not graduated high school attend Del Rey School, which is housed on the Mesilla Valley Hospital campus, and also participate in individual and group therapy programs.

All individuals in the residential programs attend Del Rey School, an accredited Las Cruces Public School housed in the hospital.
