Alternative Behavior Treatment Centers provides several levels of substitute care on our Lake County campus.

Residential Care

Each of the residential programs focuses on milieu treatment in a safe and secure environment on our rural 14 acre campus. Accountability for individual behaviors is encouraged through ABTC's Phases of Treatment and Privileges. Unit placement is based upon a thorough assessment and in the best interest of the youth. Treatment services are provided by a multidisciplinary team of professionals that include psychiatry, nursing, psychologists, master's level therapists and adjunctive therapy professionals. Collaboration with families, the courts, other professionals and the community assists with a smooth transition to the next level of care. Youth are encouraged to explore continued educational and vocational options through our on-site school and vocational training.
