Psychiatric residential treatment program
We provide individualized, trauma-informed psychiatric residential treatment (PRTF) services for all-gender youth ages 10-19 with a higher level of mental and behavioral health needs.
Youth experience a safe environment that provides on-campus education, individualized programming, therapy, and recreational opportunities.
Our East Bethel campus is staffed 24/7, with on-site nursing, therapists, and other mental health professionals.
Acceptance process
For a youth to be considered for admissions, a diagnostic assessment must have been completed within the last 180 days and referral agents must complete a DHS -7696 Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) Eligibility for Admission form.
- If DHS 7696 form is approved, Nexus Family Healing is notified.
- Nexus admissions team will then review for consideration.
- While an admissions decision is being made, we recommend completing the additional necessary forms.
- If a youth is accepted into the East Bethel program, our admissions coordinator will then set an admission date with all necessary parties to begin the admissions process.
- If a youth is not accepted into our program, our admissions coordinator will inform the referral agent of that decision.
Contact us with any admissions-related questions.
