The Villa operates seven days a week, 24 hours a day, and is fully staffed with behavioral health clinicians and nursing staff. The unit is a secure facility offering a structured daily setting for adolescents experiencing mental health and/or behavioral difficulties.

Children and adolescents will receive a comprehensive evaluation by a behavioral health professional. Upon entrance into our program, professional staff will assist the child and their guardian in developing a plan for treatment. This plan will focus on the specific needs of the child. Our services include structured group activities and behavior management, as well as medication management when deemed medically necessary. Each child attending our program will participate in group, individual and family therapy.

Family members are a vital part of treatment and are encouraged to become actively involved in the process to develop a better understanding of the child's behavior and special needs.
