The estimated length of services (LOS) is 30 to 180 days depending on the needs of the girl. The individual’s progress of treatment goals and objectives, as well as immediate and/or additional needs assessed since admission, are taken into consideration.
The readiness of the family is also taken into consideration to maximize the transition back home, as well as increase the sustainability of progress made in treatment.
In today’s intricate world, the transition from child to adult can be precarious, with various factors influencing young people both within and beyond their control. Our Christ-centered goal is to facilitate healing from unresolved trauma, addiction, mood disorders, and other co-occurring issues, restoring hope and health.
The treatment process begins with a detailed Christ-centered assessment, allowing us to delve beyond surface-level issues and identify root causes. Subsequently, we create a personalized Christ-centered treatment plan that prioritizes safety, encourages accountability, and instills a sense of ownership of their recovery. As patients implement what they learn into practice, they receive Christ-centered feedback from staff and peers, fostering healing and growth.
Therapeutic services are provided using an integrative trauma-healing approach that restores a sense of safety and stability. Treatment planning, services, and case updates are informed by treatment team reports, child and family reporting, collateral documentation, clinical and medical observations and recommendations, and standardized screening measures. Service planning is reflective of each resident’s individual stage of healing, as well as aligned with evidence-based interventions that resonate with the child.
