Advanced-Level Programming

Youth admitted to Lakeside RTC have significant abusive-behavior patterns that require long-term treatment intervention. The length of stay is 12-18 months, with 6-12 months of follow-up aftercare services. Due to our experience and advanced level of programming, this facility is generally able to graduate a youth from the program in twelve months.
