When is Residential Treatment Necessary for Teens and Youths?

A residential treatment center can be necessary for youths when other treatment programs have not been effective, when a 24-hour care environment is needed for healing, or when they are stepping down from a higher level of treatment.

While there are specific disorders, such as eating disorders, that warrant a stay in an RTC, other factors may also call for this level of care for adolescents, teens, and young adults, including:

  1. Educational needs that a less-restrictive setting cannot meet.
  2. Lack of adequate support at home.
  3. Needing intensive treatment after receiving inpatient mental health care.
  4. Safety issues.
  5. Unsuccessful outpatient treatments.
