Residential Treatment
Residential treatment is offered when a child exhibits dangerous behavior such as hurting himself or others and acting out behaviors which are so intense and longstanding that they cannot be managed in the home setting. Residential treatment is an option only after less intensive care options like therapy, respite and day treatment are attempted. This services is also subject to the availability of funds provided through the TDFPS contract that supports the Post Adoption Program.

Up to one year of residential treatment is covered by the Post Adoption Program. The parents must be actively involved in family therapy at the residential treatment facility while their child is in treatment and the plan must be for the child to return home.
