Family Readiness Advocates

If you're overwhelmed and worried about finding a treatment option that will actually work for your child, you're not alone.


Youth Home has seen many complex illnesses and hard situations, and we've been successfully addressing them to change lives and save families since 1966.


We'll address your child's entire well-being: Including medical, psychiatric, social, physical, and academic needs. And the best part is: your child can feel safe and comfortable while doing it.

Robust Treatment Program

We provide far more opportunities for therapy and treatment than what is considered standard: offering 2 individual sessions, family therapy, group therapy, and numerous recreational therapy groups per week.


We also involve the child in their own treatment plan from the very beginning, rather than simply telling them what to do.


This approach creates more successful results, giving them the tools they need to take ownership over their wellbeing.

Friendly Campus

Because clients stay with us for roughly 3-7 months, the environment we create for them is incredibly important.


Our therapeutic activities are enjoyed in a beautiful, safe, and comfortable 52-acre campus (if we aren't out having fun at the zoo, skate park, local assisted living homes, and more.)

Safety & Protection

We offer a 4:1 Staff Ratio (compared to the 6:1 ratio required by regulating bodies). Every staff member on campus, regardless of their level of involvement with the clients, is intensively trained in Trauma Informed Care. Safety is the highest priority at Youth Home, for staff and clients, alike.

Let us take the burden off your shoulders, & replace it with the tools you need to help your child succeed.

"Should I Send My Child to Residential Treatment?"

"We've tried other programs. They didn't help."

Our program is genuinely unlike any other program in the United States. We treat each child with respect, provide access to decompression zones, ongoing professional support for debriefing stress, and evidence based therapies. On our 52 acre, beautiful campus, we provide award winning recreational therapy, an on campus educational program, and individualized care to give your child the best chance of success.

"I won't have access to my child."

Family involvement is a key element to our treatment program. We'll support your ongoing involvement through travel assistance, access to your child via phone by request, teletherapy, and passes for home visits when clinically appropriate.

"It won't be worth the cost."

We accept TRICARE® Insurance and provide travel assistance to out of state families, so that the cost of care is minimal for you. We provide unparalleled value to every client, even if they discharge early. If you're hoping for a higher quality of life for your child or to save your family, we would love to help you try.

"They'll fall behind in school."

Our supportive, on campus educational program was designed specifically to solve this problem. To give each child the best chance of success, we also need to help them thrive in a high school setting. That's what the Siebert School program is for.

"Something bad could happen."

As a Trauma Informed agency, safety is our utmost priority. We don't tolerate harassment or violence of any kind with the objective of protecting staff and clients to provide a safe place to work and heal. That said, any incidents will be reported to you with haste.

"We've tried everything. Nothing has worked."

Our program isn't a fit for everyone, but we guarantee that we won't keep your child any longer than necessary if it's not effective for your family. We guarantee we'll provide as much support as we're able to substantiate to help your family thrive again. Many of our families have been changed forever because of the care received by our treatment team. Your family's success matters to us, and so does your child's health. The history of who we are as an agency and how our organization came to be truly does give a incredible view into this dedication.

"I'm scared about what will happen when they come home."

We don't say Changing Lives • Saving Families for nothing. This is more normal than you know, and possible to overcome. We work with you before, during, and after treatment to help give you the best chance of success after discharging. Our objective isn't changed behavior in our care, it's creating a positive, lifelong change for your family.

Parent Testimony

"A Week at Youth Home"

Accreditation

Youth Home is accredited by The Joint Commission, which means our health care organization continuously complies with rigorous standards and successfully corrects deficiencies identified at our most recent survey and/or review.

Emergency Care

We have working relationships with the local hospitals and/or urgent care facilities. Whether a patient has an accident, engages in self-harm, or is in crisis (and therefore in need of additional support), we have protocols in place to get appropriate care for them immediately.

Aftercare Planning

Planning for a patient’s discharge is an important step in the overall treatment at Youth Home. Discharge planning begins on day one of treatment. Our goal is to provide patients with the therapeutic and life skills necessary to function in a home setting.

Credentialed Staff

In addition to meeting and exceeding credential regulations for our staff members, every staff member is fully and intensively trained in the Trauma Informed Care approach. Every person who is scheduled to work on our campus receives this training.
