Residential Programs for Children

For children struggling with a mental health challenge severe enough to require removal from the home by county-based Children & Youth Services or Juvenile Probation, Beacon Light offers a variety residential programs.

Some are long-term and others short-term, but all are designed to provide the highest levels of treatment individuals involved. Residential treatment is the most intensive of all Beacon Light programs, and our broad range of settings ensures we can place a child in an environment that gives them the best chance for positive outcomes.

The First Street Residential Treatment Facility is a Joint Commission accredited home for adolescent males, ages 12-18, in need of therapy to address mental health issues and behavioral concerns in a strengths-based environment in order to return to their home community. In the structured environment, highly-trained clinicians are certified to provide specialized counseling.
