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.

Placing a Youth in Residential Treatment
To refer a youth to our group homes, the referring agency needs to provide:  current social history, psychological evaluation, MFE, IEP and any other pertinent information.

Once all referral information is received, the referring agency will be contacted within two business days.  If the youth is appropriate for placement in a group home, placement will be arranged.

After admission, personalized goals and treatment plans are established through collaboration of Adriel staff and the referring agency.

Adriel is sensitive and responsive to each youth's rights. At regular intervals, the youth and treatment team meet to evaluate progress or barriers to accomplishment, and to plan strategy.

Designed to meet the needs of today's children, the building offers increased durability and safety features while still maintaining the home-like environment that is central to our program.
