The Extended Day Treatment (EDT) program helps youth and families establish more positive ways of interacting and provides an opportunity for youth to remain at home in the community, significantly reducing the potential for out-of-home placements. The EDT program provides intensive therapeutic afterschool services for youth, ages 6 to 17, and their families. The program operates five days a week, 52 weeks of the year, and is open during school vacations.
The program provides group, individual, family and multi-family therapy, psychiatric evaluation and medicine management in a structured therapeutic setting. The program utilizes evidence-based treatment models, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Project Joy, and recreational therapy. The average length of stay is six months, and our unique approach ensures each youth receives services tailored to fit individual needs and the needs of their family. Our multidisciplinary team of professionals includes Masters-level clinicians, case managers, psychiatrists and an APRN.
