Matching

Matching and placement are primary to a successful admission. There will be maximum consideration given to you as the parent (s) of any youth being considered for admission and total control over the decision to place. You will be able to meet or talk with the Professional Treatment Facilitator (substitute parent) prior to any decision to place in that home. If feasible for you, a visit to the home and discussion with the PTF will be available prior to a decision to place.
