Psychiatric Residential Treatment
KVC Hospitals is taking many precautions to keep our clients and employees healthy and safe during the coronavirus pandemic. Click here to learn about the policies we have implemented.
Psychiatric residential treatment allows youth to transition to a home-like environment with the support of our trained clinicians and staff. Youth receive intensive clinical services in a structured environment, attend our accredited alternative school, and practice the skills they are learning while enjoying various community outings.
Our primary goal is to help each child safely transition back to their community with improved emotion regulation and cognitive processing skills.
