In our residential Behavioral Misconduct program, we provide 24-hour supervision for teen males between the ages of 13–17. The youth in our Behavioral Misconduct program have various psychiatric issues such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, reactive attachment, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant, depression or other problem areas that have resulted in their dismissal from other outpatient services or other treatment facilities.
This residential program is designed for adolescent males with sexualized behavior issues (may be adjudicated for sexual offenses). The youth in the Sexual Misconduct programs are teens ages 13–17 who often have a myriad of psychiatric issues. These may include impulse control, history of sexual abuse, anxiety, bipolar disorder, reactive attachment, depression, or other problem areas that resulted in their failure in outpatient services or other treatment facilities.
Benchmark Behavioral Health offers education for the youth in our care. The Benchmark School is designed to provide a positive learning environment, differentiated instructional strategies and quality instruction to help students become lifelong learners.
In addition to our residential programs, we offer recreation therapy, a daily recreation therapy group, community reintegration activities, a fitness program, and a community outreach program. Each of these services is designed to help residents enhance their health, their functional abilities and their quality of life.
Through our Recreational Therapy program, Benchmark gives residents the opportunity to experience and learn life skills like completing a job application, going through an interview, clocking in and out, receiving a paycheck and employee evaluations. Resident employees are mentored by our on-site job coach, who encourage and instruct our youth.
