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