Residential Program
Echelon Care's Residential Program offers a safe, therapeutic environment for youth to work on their life challenges.
This environment remains staffed with professionals who are there 24/7 to provide guidance and assistance, with behavioral and emotional concerns. It is a structured environment that places emphasis on accountability, structure, and age-appropriate behavior.
Many times, a youth's issues have escalated beyond what typical household can manage. In these instances, Echelon Care can offer a solution that is beneficial to both the child and the household. While the child is within our Residential Program, the parent(s), and or legal guardian(s) have the opportunity to interact with the child and add input as to what their expectations are, upon the return of the youth to their household.
