John Costigan Center

Residential treatment programs are a longer-term treatment program (lasting from 3-12 months or more) for children and adolescents with long-standing behavioral health problems. The programs offer physician-led, multi-disciplinary treatment that addresses overall medical, psychiatric, social and academic needs of the child. Residential programs offer a balance of therapies and activities in a safe, structured setting.

Streamwood Residential Center at the John Costigan Center is an 85-bed facility that offers five residential treatment programs for adolescent males and females ages 12-21. 

These Programs Include:

• General Residential Programs - There are two separate programs divided by gender. One program serves adolescent males, the other females aged 13-17. These programs treat individuals who have been abused, neglected, experienced extreme violence, and abandonment with impairment in functioning in school and the community. The length of programming treatment is 6-12 months based on the individual needs of the patient.
• Special Needs Residential Program - These programs are separated by gender, serving male and female adolescents aged 13-19 with severe primary psychiatric disorders in conjunction with developmental/cognitive disturbances. This may include mental retardation, severe learning disorders, neuropsychiatric and pervasive developmental disorders. The length of program treatment is variable based on individual need.
• Transitional Residential Program - This program is designed to treat adolescent males ages 12-17 with a history of long-standing disturbances such as abuse, neglect, extreme violence, and abandonment in the areas of family and/or surrogate family functioning. In addition, individuals must have a pattern of failed placement. The length of program treatment is 12-18 months based on the individual needs of the patient.
