These resources provide information on evidenced-based and trauma-focused residential treatment centers. These treatment centers—also known as Qualified Residential Treatment Programs (QRTPs)—work with youth struggling with psychological, behavioral, and/or substance use issues to provide live-in services for those who are too ill or require services that are not available in a less secure or less restrictive environment. The 2018 Family First Prevention Services Act mandates that QRTPs receiving Federal funds must use a trauma-informed practice model; are staffed by registered or licensed staff who can provide care consistent with the treatment model; and are licensed and nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the Council on Accreditation, or others approved organizations. Intensive residential treatment facilities are typically very structured and offer around-the-clock supervision and a variety of counseling, education, and therapy sessions. Placement in this type of a facility should be time limited and only considered if community-based services do not prove effective.
