Youth Villages provides residential treatment to boys and girls on three open campuses. Our Center for Intensive Residential Treatment (CIRT) provides even more intensive treatment for chidren and teenagers who require constant supervision due to serious behaviors and mental health issues. 

Youth Villages' residential campuses are located in beautiful natural surroundings. Children live in cottages or cabins and are grouped by age and problem behaviors. Every campus includes its own accredited school, a nursing station, a gym, pool and other modern amenities.

Youth Villages' residential treatment program uses the Re-ED treatment model.

The Youth Villages Center for Intensive Residential Treatment, a state-of-the-art facility opened in 2003, provides intensive help in a safe and secure environment to children and teenagers who exhibit behaviors serious enough to require around-the-clock supervision. The center includes its own accredited school, a nursing station, a supervised time-out room, light-filled bedrooms and play rooms with large window walls that permit residents to view the beautiful, calming scenery that surrounds the center. The center also features enclosed outdoor play areas for basketball or other games, grilling out and having a picnic. 

The center's unique lay out -- featuring four courtyards with 16 beds each -- allows for seriously troubled young people to be grouped by age, behavior and level of functioning, and gender.

Youth Villages is in the process of building an intensive residential treatment center just for girls. This new, state-of-the-art facility will provide seriously troubled girls and teens with intensive supervision and guidance by specially trained counselors and medical professionals. The center is scheduled to open in late 2008.

Youth Villages' residential campuses and facilities are located in Tennessee, but children are accepted from all areas of the country.
