Boys Town National Research Hospital

The Boys Town Residential Treatment Center provides care for children and teens ages 5 to 17 experiencing significant behavioral or mental health challenges. It offers support for youth facing difficulties such as school struggles, trauma history, aggression, self-injury, social skill deficits, or risk of psychiatric hospitalization. The program is designed to meet the needs of families seeking structured, intensive treatment.
The center provides 24-hour care in a safe, structured environment. Kids receive therapy individually, in groups, and with their families. They also get support for trauma, behavior challenges, and medication needs. An on-site school lets children continue learning and earn back credits. Each child’s treatment plan includes support for the family and help with the next steps after leaving.
The center also offers outpatient services. These include evaluations and help with medications for kids who don’t need full-time care. Families can choose the level of support that fits their child best, knowing they’ll receive care from professionals who understand their needs.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Boys Town National Research Hospital provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Boys Town National Research Hospital offers 3 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 6 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment.
