Residential Treatment
At Edgewood, we work hard to change the lives of the 20 children who live and attend school in an open campus setting as part of our Residential Treatment Program.
Overview
The Residential Treatment Program at Edgewood Children’s Center is dedicated to the treatment of children and adolescents who have experienced extensive trauma and who struggle with the debilitating effects of a variety of emotional disturbances. Treatment at Edgewood is intensive and is designed to individually address each child’s psycho-social and educational needs.
