Boys Town Specialized Treatment Group HomesSM provide structured, 24-hour care and treatment in a group home setting for youth ages 10 to 18 with severe behavioral and mental health disorders. These youth do not pose an immediate threat to themselves or others and can participate in family-style activities like preparing meals, doing chores and going on outings. Professionally trained caregivers and therapists develop individualized Treatment Plans to meet the needs of each youth and provide necessary therapy. These children come to the program from Intensive Residential Treatment or are referred by other mental health professionals in the community. The average length of stay is four to six months. When children reach their treatment goals here, we want them to be able to move to less-restrictive care, either within the Boys Town Integrated Continuum or to another program, to continue their treatment.*
* In some cases, children return home, if it is safe and in their best interest. A focus of Boys Town’s programs is the reunification of children with their families.
