Day Program Services

Day treatment services are the most intensive form of non-residential services for children and youth.  They are indicated for youth who demonstrate severe impairment in conduct and emotions and who require intensive treatment services which can be provided in a community setting to allow the youth to return home each day.  Day Program Services are provided through an integrated set of educational, counseling and family interventions (primarily case coordination) that engage the youth for typically four to six hours a day.  These services are designed to strengthen individual and family functioning and to prevent more restrictive placement.

Level I Day Program
This level is designed for youth who require intensive but not restrictive treatment services.  The approach is typically psychoeducational.  Service components are provided through a multi-disciplinary approach and include education (with an emphasis on individualized instruction), therapy and counseling (individual and group), family services, crisis intervention, and skill building (emphasizing interpersonal, problem-solving, and basic living skills), behavioral management, recreation and leisure, and periodic psychiatric management and consultation.
