Emotional & Behavioral Challenges

Playing a gameWoods provides non-secure residential treatment services and supports to children and adolescents who range in age from 6 to 21 who have a psychiatric diagnosis.  We do this without regard to race, color, religious creed, disability, handicap, ancestry, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or sex.

 

Primary psychiatric diagnoses may include, but not be limited to, the following:

 

  • Pervasive Developmental Disorder
  • Asperger’s Disorder
  • Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
  • Major Depression
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Mood Disorder
  • Oppositional Defiant Disorder
  • Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

 

In addition to the above listed diagnoses, many children/adolescents admitted to our residential treatment program will also be classified as having developmental or intellectual disability .

 

Underlying Treatment Principles

We use a strength-based approach and tailor each child’s program to meet his/her individual needs.  Our approach incorporates all aspects of a child’s functioning into our treatment planning.

 

The treatment models are grounded in providing the structure and support necessary to help each individual feel safe, both physically and emotionally.  It is within the safety of our environment that change is able to occur. Children who have previously presented with socially devalued behaviors are able to develop healthier and more positive ways of interacting with the world, and coping with their psychiatric and emotional challenges.

 

Within this broad context, several underlying treatment principles have remained consistent:

  • Emotional Safety
  • Resilience
  • Recovery
  • Milieu
  • Evidence Based Practices

 

Treatment Approaches:

  • Psycho-educational InstructionClassroom
  • Applied Behavioral Analysis
  • Psychopharmacology
  • Individual Therapy
  • Group Therapy
  • Family Therapy/Parent-Family Instruction
