Advanced-Level Programming

Provo RTC is able to provide effective treatment that allows youth to graduate the program in approximately 10-12 months, with aftercare and outpatient services lasting an additional 6-12 months (depending on the needs of the youth). Lack of treatment progress may result in a recommendation and referral to more intensive treatment and/or supervision, and may also result in increased length of treatment.
