Residential Treatment Program

The Residential Treatment Program in Smithville, MO, is dedicated to empowering teens aged 13-17 through individualized mental health support that emphasizes independence, respect, and personal responsibility. Our mission is to facilitate a successful reintegration into the community by offering comprehensive services, including psychiatric treatment, medication management, and various therapeutic sessions tailored to the needs of each child. We provide medical and dental care, along with educational support, speech and language therapy, and recreational activities aimed at developing daily living and social skills. Our specialized programming includes work-study opportunities and dietician consultations to ensure holistic care. As a state facility, our primary focus is to serve children with limited or no resources, and while we are required to charge for services, we work closely with families to arrange payments based on their ability to pay, ensuring that mental health care is accessible to as many Missourians as possible.
