Treatment Services
Treatment Services provides programs helping teens and children facing tremendous challenges.
At the Klahre House Alternative Day Treatment School, professional staff members provide a safe and caring therapeutic environment where young people begin to heal. Teenagers at the school gain tools to help them build healthy, happy lives.
The Community Attention Homes program helps youth at risk needing higher levels of care. The 90-day evaluation program includes comprehensive assessments, short-term mental health services and proctor home placement.
The Crisis Shelter takes in temporarily homeless youth who have not committed any crime on a 24-hour basis. Care is offered in specially trained homes in Hood River and Wasco counties.
When teenagers in foster care turn 18, they are released from the care of the state and must quickly learn to live on their own. The Independent Living Program helps youth in Wasco, Hood River, Sherman and Gilliam Counties through this transition. Starting as young as age 14, we help foster youth identify their needs and learn how to become independent adults.
Through the Therapeutic Foster Care program, local teenagers who have been adjudicated for sexual offenses are assessed and given intensive treatment lasting 6 months to 2 years. These teenagers are often placed in foster homes during their treatment. Those who complete treatment are far less likely to commit similar offenses again.
Family Finding helps Department of Human Services caseworkers locate and reconnect the biological families of some foster children.
