RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT
PROGRAM
Adriel's residential treatment program offers a highly structured interdisciplinary approach which affords youth opportunities to address their issues and learn healthy social interaction skills, work skills, problem-solving skills, and other individual self-care skills necessary to achieve success. Adriel currently has five residential homes serving 40 children. Professionally trained teaching parents nurture and guide the youth, while a therapist is assigned to each home. Each youth in the home receives individualized treatment. Each is introduced to fairness, justice, and responsibility for one's own behavior. Youth are taught to resolve problems rationally with a sense of predictability and consequence. Youth are taught personal management skills in the community, family, and peer relationships. Youth development is constant and caring; stressing self-discipline and pro-social skills. A system, which acknowledges behaviors, empowers each youth to achieve progressive privileges and ultimately, self-responsibility. The system teaches appropriate conduct and performance. |
