Its hallmark is a supportive "day school" environment with onsite educators and dedicated classroom time so academics continue alongside CBT/DBT, group, and family therapy for co-occurring mental-health and substance-use needs.

How to read this record
- Sources and dates
- Sources carry their own dates. “Record researched” dates the profile research record; it does not mean every detail was checked that day. Details not shown here may still need research. Confirm them with the program.
- Public record
- Where a check has run, the record lists what state licensing agencies, inspections and federal exclusion lists show, each with its date and source. “Public record: not yet checked” marks a gap in the research. It tells you nothing either way about the program.
- Youth residential programs
- Residential and inpatient programs for young people may show a license or state-record entry when available, or “License not yet checked.” A research date is not a license-check date.
- Allegations
- A filed lawsuit or a news investigation about patient safety appears only in one fixed, dated form with its source, ending “This is an allegation, not a finding.” No program is removed from search on an allegation alone.
- Location
- Protected residences show city only when available; street address and map pin stay withheld to protect residents. Other profiles may show a public map point based on available location data. A missing pin means the Directory could not confirm a sufficiently precise location in published data, not a judgment about the program. Confirm the destination with the program before visiting.
- Before you refer
- Call the program and confirm openings, intake hours, insurance and eligibility directly. The Directory is not a referral service and does not recommend programs.
Not a rating. A record. Results are listed by name, never ranked, and nobody can pay for placement. Coverage is uneven, so a missing program or an empty field says nothing about care.
