The Remington House Facility is a twenty-four hour staff secure setting for at-risk youth ages 10-18. This program offers Education Services, Therapeutic Services as well as Residential Services.

The Remington House services a range of behavioral and emotional issues including all types of abuse, family relational issues, trauma issues, adjustment issues, thought disorders, delinquency issues, suicidal behaviors, grief and loss issues, attachment issues, and substance abuse. A psychiatrist meets with the youth on an as-needed basis (about one time per month) to monitor medication needs. The youth are assigned a primary therapist that meets with them a minimum of once a week as well as provides family therapy and crisis intervention. The youth attend therapeutic groups Monday through Friday that include substance use, psychotherapeutic issues, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), anger management, teambuilding, social skills, coping skills, art therapy, and conflict resolution. The youth earn privileges by working through a level system that encourages self-awareness, self-discovery, and autonomy.

The Remington House also has an on-site year round school that the youth attend. School is held Monday through Friday from 7:30am-3:00pm. Each student is assessed and taught according to their Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Individual Learning Plan (ILP).

The Acute Treatment Unit (ATU) is part of the Remington House on-site facility for children ages 10-18, who are in an emotional crisis or have a serious psychiatric issue. ATU placement at Remington House serves as an alternative to mental health hospitalization for those youth in emotional crisis. The ATU provides a safe and secure environment for individuals who do not require hospitalization or an extended length of stay by providing 24 hour staff supervision and support.

The ATU youth are placed into group therapy, family therapy, and daily individual therapy sessions. If a change of medication is needed, then patients are evaluated by a psychiatrist and assessed on a day-to-day basis while they stabilize. ATU placement ranges from 24 hours to 2 weeks and serves the purpose to reintroduce youth to a community based placement with support as soon as possible. When clients are released from the ATU, their treatment continues with continuity of care that includes discharge planning, safety planning, and assessment of the appropriate type of care in the community. Clients and families are encouraged to work together in order to continue the recommended care at home.

If you have any questions regarding the Acute Treatment Unit, then please contact Barb Montoya, Clinical Director, at (970) 484-7447.
