Programs
Our psychiatric residential treatment facility (PRTF): care in our PRTF setting is required when the youth's medical condition, safety, or health would be significantly and directly threatened if care was provided in a less intensive setting. This program opened in May 2010 and is provided on our 110-acre campus. We take a holistic approach to treatment; we believe that youth must continue to engage in normal developmental activities and enrichment along with the therapeutic interventions provided. Education services, medical care, and a healthy nutrition program are included during their placement with us. Nursing staff, licensed therapists, behavior interventionists, and direct care staff are on staff 24 hours a day. The primary goal of this program is to prepare the youth and (Continued Sch. O)family for his return to home and community. The youth's underlying behavioral problems must be addressed in order to accomplish this goal, and therapeutic interventions must target the behaviors and symptoms that have limited the youth's successes. Service planning and programming, including therapeutic strategies and provision of active treatment are focused on teaching youth how to…

This is an environment that is designed to be treatment-focused and short term; that provides access to 24-hour nursing and clinical staff; that provides at least six-months of family focused aftercare. This program is accredited by COA, a national accrediting entity. As part of the initial 30-day assessment our clinical team is required to convene a meeting of family members and others with significant relationships with the child in order to gain (continued Sch.

Reunification with the youth's family is priority one. This program facilitates family participation in the child's treatment program (if in the child's best interest); it facilitates family outreach, documents how this outreach is made, and…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $4.3M to $5.9M (+37%).
