Residential Treatment Center
for Sexually Abusive Youth
OVERVIEW
The Alabama Clinical Schools treatment model uses a very holistic
approach to the treatment of sexually abusive and sexually reactive
behaviors. We have developed a therapeutic milieu that addresses all
aspects of the needs of the residents – behavioral, psychiatric,
social, leisure and recreational, medical and family. Treatment is
based upon the individual needs of each resident and
cognitive-behavioral treatment interventions are used to change the
thinking, emotions, and behavior of sexually abusive/reactive youth.
The program has been built upon the following beliefs:
- Early treatment intervention with sexually
troubled youth helps achieve successful outcomes.
- Treatment must be individually tailored and
attend to all aspects of the resident.
- Deviant patterns of sexual arousal can be
eliminated through sex offense-specific treatment practices.
- Relapse prevention skills must be developed
to assist sexually troubled youth with identifying abuse cycles
as well as with adapting to high-risk situations with learned
and practiced coping skills.
- The involvement of family members and/or an
identified support system is an essential component of
treatment.
