Residential Treatment Centers
Residential Treatment refers to short-term, clinically intensive programs that typically last between 30 and 90 days and are offered in home-like settings. These programs provide diverse services to support individuals and families in meeting their psychological, social, emotional, and educational needs.
The core philosophy of Residential Treatment centers around offering personalized and comprehensive treatment plans tailored to address each individual's unique challenges recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach may not effectively promote lasting positive change. By fostering a sense of community, these programs create an environment where clients can feel supported, understood, and encouraged to progress on their journey toward recovery and personal growth.
Residential Treatment provides a higher level of clinical and family work than outpatient solutions. The change in environment and home dynamic can prove beneficial in disrupting maladaptive behaviors and thought patterns. During this time, professionals can conduct thorough diagnostic assessments gaining invaluable insights into clients' emotional and behavioral patterns. These assessments pave the way for targeted and effective interventions.
Recognizing the importance of familial support in the healing process, these programs incorporate family therapy and parent coaching sessions in the fuller treatment plan.
Residential Treatment also offers educational services to ensure clients' academic needs are met during their stay. These services aim to minimize disruptions in their educational journey and provide them with a supportive learning environment.
The ultimate goal of Residential Treatment is to prepare individuals for their next steps beyond the program. This might involve returning home with a more robust support system, transitioning to home-based wraparound services, or enrolling in small, nurturing boarding schools. The focus is on equipping clients with the skills and coping mechanisms needed to adapt and thrive in various life situations.
Staffed with dedicated professionals, these programs provide a warm, empathetic, supportive atmosphere that facilitates healing and positive change.
What People Are Saying
“When my daughter with special needs was ready to enter Kindergarten, I wanted to make sure she would continue to get the support she needed to feel successful in school. Upon entering my first meeting with the school district's Committee on Special Education (CSE), I felt confident we could all work together as a team to develop an appropriate educational plan for my daughter. What I found was the school district not only disregarded my input as a parent, but they also dismissed the reports and recommendations of my daughter's teachers, therapists and doctors. The whole process left me feeling overwhelmed and confused. That is when my daughter's speech therapist recommended I call Jodi Liston. Jodi thoroughly reviewed my daughter's file, consulted with me and then accompanied me to the next CSE meeting. Her presence at the meeting really leveled the playing field. She has an extensive knowledge of education law and was able to address the committee with firm confidence. Without her advocacy, I probably would have walked away defeated. I am happy to say my daughter now receives the support services she needs in her Kindergarten class. My family and I are truly grateful to Jodi for her hard work and dedication.”

“HK&L was extremely helpful to us in our time of need. They are very knowledgeable in special education law. Our consultant was easy to talk to and always accessible, even on very short notice. She came through for us when we needed her the most. I truly believe that if HK&L had not been at our side during our meetings, we would still be fighting an uphill battle and getting nowhere. As it is, they helped us get our child to an appropriate placement, which would have been an impossible or otherwise very difficult task. I highly recommend Harris Kramer & Liston if you are in need of a special education advocate. You will not be disappointed.”
