About

For over 30 years, Youth Care has provided clinically intensive and individualized interventions for the complex student. We specialize in working with teenagers experiencing emotional and behavioral problems such as: Thought Disorders, Anxiety, Self-Injurious Behaviors, Mood Disorders, Physical and Sexual Abuse, Gender Identity Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Pregnant Teens, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Substance Abuse. Our Small, home-like environment combined with a respectful approach provides the safe framework students and families require to promote rapid engagement and positive change. Because we are IN NETWORK with most insurance companies, we are successful with getting insurance coverage anywhere from 60-120 days. We utilize both RTC & Day Tx licensure to accomplish this. Our clinically intensive program features PhD and Master's Level therapists who provide three hours of individual therapy and one hour of family therapy per week. Students are involved in twenty plus hours of group therapy (seven of which are by a licensed therapist). Additionally, the students are assessed weekly by our psychiatrists and nursing teams. The program offers full chemical addiction counseling which includes a weekly individual sessions and group therapy that is substance abuse specific. The student will also have the opportunity to attend community based AA and NA group meetings weekly. Youth Care offers a variety of therapeutic approaches to help students. Youth Care offers a DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) program where therapists, teachers, and line staff are all trained to help students implement their skills into their daily living. Students attend school for a full day where they are taught by Utah Certified Teachers. Their curriculum is matched with their home school requirements. Students participate in small, interactive classes where they are taught not only subject matter but techniques for improving school appropriate behaviors. Graduation ceremonies are available for students earning a Hight School diploma.
