Milton Girls Juvenile Residential Facility is a sixty (60)-bed residential commitment program for the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. The program will serve female juvenile offenders ages 13-18. Youths selected for the program must have a DSM-IV-TR Axis I mental disorder(s) who have moderate to serious mental or emotional disturbance with a level of impairment and maladaptive behavior that makes them unsuitable for a general offender program. Each youth admitted will be evaluated and monitored by a licensed psychiatrist.

Length of stay in this program is approximately 6 to 12 months.
