Their day program offers a residential-like structure while allowing clients to remain living at home, with 8 hours of treatment per day, 5 days per week. The therapeutic day program consists of 1 hour of 1-on-1 therapy and 4 hours of evidence-based group sessions per week, integrating 2-3 hours of on-site academic support with an education coordinator to ensure teens keep up with their schooling.
