Residential Treatments

KIDSCOPE: For males 6-12 years of age

COOLSPRINGS: For females 12-17 years of age

Our Residential Treatment Center provides a highly structured, nurturing and caring environment that focuses on the development of behavioral control, problem solving skills, academic improvement, self-esteem and the skill to identify one's feelings while expressing them in a healthy manner.

Residential care is usually indicated when a child's chronic problems continue to interfere with his/her functioning in the community following treatment from an acute care hospitalization. Our KIDSCOPE and COOLSPRINGS residential programs provide treatment for a duration that is able to impart therapeutic change in the child's problematic behaviors, emotional complexion, interpersonal relationship development and family communication patterns.

Our multidisciplinary treatment team views each child developmentally and plans treatment according to the individual needs of the child. This is done in consultation with the referring agency and the child's family or guardian. Significant issues are identified and treatment is tailored to address areas such as:
