Level I treatment is for youth ages 13 through 17 who have a diagnosis of chemical dependency. Length of stay is based on clinical needs and program design. Maximum stay is 60 days, although longer stays may occur if clinically indicated.

Participant's ages 12 and younger, or youth ages 18, 19, or 20 may be served with clinical assessment and, if appropriate, may receive treatment.

Level II Youth Intensive Residential Treatment

Level II treatment is for youth ages 13 through 17 who are both chemically dependent and have symptoms of a mental health diagnosis (or potential diagnosis).
