Teen
Triumph Treatment Program
Teen Triumph is an RCL 12
residential treatment program specializing in the treatment of behaviorally
challenged youth between the ages of 12 and 18. The program is designed to
address the treatment and behavior management needs of emotionally traumatized,
deprived and disturbed youth and to provide intensive therapy and psychiatric
management. The program accepts those having been adjudicated by the juvenile
courts and declared wards under W & I 602, and similar profiles under W
& I 300 and AB 26.5.
The program provides intensive treatment in a highly structured environment
utilizing a multi-modal therapeutic approach. Each youth receives ongoing
therapeutic services from program clinicians and counselors. All youth are
evaluated by the Program’s Child Psychiatrist within 30 days of admission to
the program. Services include individual and group therapy sessions conducted
by licensed clinicians (supervised Interns), ongoing monitoring by the psychiatrist
and daily coaching by primary counselors. The clinical team and direct care
staff meet weekly to consider resident’s assessment of program progress and
treatment goals related to the individual treatment plans, needs and overall program
expectation.
Evidenced Based Programs (EBP) have been integrated in to the
empirically guided treatment program. All residents receive the following EBPs.

Why Try? The
Why Try program consists of ten visual analogies (pictures) with solutions and
questions written around each picture to help youth gain insight into how to
deal with daily challenges. The goal of
the program is to help youth answer the question, “why try in life?”, when they
are frustrated, confused or angry with life’s pressures and challenges. The
program teaches youth that trying hard in life and putting effort into
challenges at home, at school and with peers is worth the effort.
Focus Groups: Specialized focus groups and treatment
interventions are offered to youth based on the individual treatment needs
identified in their initial comprehensive assessment. These include but are not
limited to, substance abuse, survivors of sexual molest, PTSD/trauma, grief and
loss.
Family Involvement and Counseling is provided for all families which
includes family engagement, education, safety planning, reunification,
discharge and after care planning.
Assessment Protocol: Individualized treatment is guided by a
comprehensive assessment administered to all youth at the beginning of
treatment. A pre-test and post-test administration of a variety of assessments, measures program progress and
efficacy. The initial structured assessment begins at intake and includes the
youth, the youth’s family and Probation Officer/Referral Agent. The following
assessments are completed in the first 30 days after admission, Risk Assessment,
Children’s Depression Inventory, Conners 3rd Edition, Substance
Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory, Youth Outcome Measures and the Ansell-Casey
Skills Assessment. The Woodcock-Johnson Educational Assessments assists in the
determination of the appropriate educational placement. Treatment goals and
interventions are prescribed by the outcome of the comprehensive assessment. Progress
is measured by periodic re-administration of the assessments during treatment
and discharge.
