Victor Treatment Centers

Victor Treatment Centers, Inc. (VTC) exists to provide a healthy, healing living environment for severely emotionally disturbed children and youth who have such great needs that they are not able to succeed in family situations and/or lower levels of care. Children age 8 through 18 who have not been successful in family situations, foster homes, or group homes can find success within the Victor Treatment Centers environments. The youth served by VTC have significant mental, behavioral, or and emotional disorders that result in the need for 24/7 supervision in conjunction with intensive mental health services. This includes youth who are hard of hearing and require a deaf residential treatment program. VTC residential services are based on a foundation of strength-based and relationship-based approaches that support the optimal recovery and resiliency for these children and youth.

It is within our community-based residential homes that the youth learn daily living skills, values, and social skills in a relationship based cooperative environment. Staff and youth work together as a team to practice the essentials of positive social relationships and self-care within a common living situation. A high staff to youth ratio in a home-like atmosphere provides a safe, consistent and predictable structure allowing each individual youth to grow at their own pace and according to their personal abilities. Victor's residential milieu program is specifically designed to teach social skills, values, enhance community involvement, develop personal health and safety education, develop leisure skills training and independent living skills.
