Boys Town Behavioral Health Services. . . Saving Children, Healing Families
If your family is struggling with a child or adolescent who is experiencing severe behavior problems, such as running away, physical aggression, harm to self or others, and attempts in working with mental health providers in the past have failed, then Boys Town Behavioral Health Services, may be able to help. Our programs provide residential treatment that is secure, safe and medically directed. Located in Omaha, Nebraska, we offer highly effective treatment services to children and adolescents from across the globe. Our program, rich in over 90 years of experience, continues to be rooted in Father Flanagan’s belief in the potential of all children to succeed.
Boy Town’s goal is the same as yours: to help your child develop skills that will arm him or her with the self-assurance and social skills needed to be successful outside the program. As a parent you know each child learns at different speeds, with success measured day to day. Although we want your child to return to your home as soon as possible, true behavioral change takes time.
Boys Town’s Behavioral Health programs provide two levels of residential treatment and care based on the severity of your child problems:
Intensive Residential Treatment Center
A 24-hour residential treatment program for youth ages 7 to 18 with psychiatric disorders, the Center is specifically designed to offer medically directed care for more seriously troubled youth who require supervision, safety and therapy, but do not require inpatient care.
Specialized Treatment Group Home Services
A medically directed and secure treatment program for youth ages 10 to 18, our Group Homes provide effective treatment within a family-oriented environment for youth with psychiatric disorders.
