Benchmark is proud to offer the following programs for adolescent males:

• Adolescent Behavioral Misconduct Program
• Adolescent Sexual Misconduct Program

The adolescent or young adult must be male and between the ages of 13 and 17. The adolescent has been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, has failed outpatient therapies and is currently exhibiting behaviors such as, but not limited to:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Psychotic symptoms
• Severe mood swings
• Extreme oppositional or defiant responses to peers and/or parents
• Explosiveness or uncontrolled rages of anger

• Impulsive behaviors
• Runaway behaviors
• Self-destructive behaviors
• Destruction of property
• Lying, covert behavior, stealing
• Evidence of ritualistic behaviors

• IQ of 55 and above

While our residential treatment center is well-suited to the needs of adolescents with a dual diagnosis some factors may exclude a youth from admission, including:

• Actively suicidal and/or homicidal, requiring acute hospitalization.
• Unstable medical conditions that might do irreversible damage to the patient, which requires intensive medical management.
• Actively psychotic or severely disorganized thought processes requiring stabilization, which precludes residential care.
• Severe organic brain disorders and non-ambulatory individuals.

We can utilize any contracted insurance policy that covers Residential Treatment Services. Please verify with your benefits department to determine if Benchmark Behavioral Health is in-network. Alternatively, we are also able to engage in a self-pay plan for parents who do not have a policy that covers our services. For households that qualify, through an application process, a discount may be applied to our customary daily rate.

With most insurance plans, coverage is determined by the insurance company’s medical necessity terms for Long-Term Care, Residential Treatment, or Inpatient Mental Health Services. Please review your insurance benefit guide to determine the terms of coverage.

Our daily billed rate is $1,200.00 per day and is all-inclusive. Each insurance policy has a different co-pay, out-of-pocket yearly maximum and benefit coverage. Please contact your insurance company for more information.
