Intake Process

Our residential treatment program is designed to help families who have a child struggling with emotional or behavioral issues and out-patient treatment or brief in-patient treatment stays have not resulted in sustained, positive changes. The length of your child’s stay at Kemmerer Village is based upon reaching and sustaining their identified goals of treatment; goals that you and your child, in consultation with our clinical staff, establish. In our experience, a program stay of six – nine months results in optimal treatment outcomes.

Admission to Kemmerer Village can occur any time during the year. The admissions process consists of an initial phone interview with the parent, so that our Admissions staff can get a general overview of the behaviors and issues that have lead the parent to consider residential treatment. The Admissions staff will request that you send pertinent medical, academic, psychological testing and previous treatment records, depending upon the complexity or severity of your child’s situation. Based on this information, we will make an assessment of our program’s ability to successfully meet your child’s treatment needs. We will also invite you to schedule a pre-placement visit to our campus.
