The Center identifies target behaviors and mental health issues, then facilitates treatments that are achievable based on creating success for each client. The Therapeutic Center offers the client the opportunity to address challenging behaviors in a structured therapeutic environment. The client develops relationships, learns appropriate ways to manage and express feelings and to function independently within a family setting. The staff models trustworthiness in their interactions with each client, thereby affording the foundation for the client to begin trusting others.

An interdisciplinary team develops and regularly updates an individual treatment plan for each client. Treatment goals focus on helping clients understand and cope with the traumas they have experienced while at the same time empowering them to accept responsibility for their current and future behaviors.
