Youth will also receive psychotherapeutic services, including individual, family, and group counseling while in the program.

A youth's length of stay is determined by the youth's assessed risk to reoffend, their progress in reducing applicable criminogenic needs and risk factors, and the completion of their individualized treatment plan.
