Adolescent Residential Treatment Facility

Light Care Center of Conway - Asolescent Residential Treatment

The Adolescent Residential Treatment Facility program at Lighthouse Care Center of Conway is a 30-bed, medical-model-based program for adolescents ages 12 to 21. It adheres to a holistic approach of treatment addressing all aspects of the human experience, including biological, psychological, social and spiritual components.

Lighthouse recognizes that each resident exhibits varying degrees of impulse control and has different skill levels based on socio-economic background and level of cognitive functioning. These differences require that each resident be given individual freedoms that allow positive interaction, the opportunity to try out new behaviors, improve self-confidence and demonstrate internal self controls.

With this philosophy in mind, Lighthouse has designed a system of privilege levels for the purpose of providing residents with a uniform structure. Residents progress from a highly structured environment to a relatively independent environment while remaining in a residential treatment setting. As the resident progressively exhibits trustworthy and socialized behavior, he or she is granted increased freedom and responsibility.

This program provides multi-disciplinary assessments and evaluations, case management services and an individual treatment plan for each resident. Our program helps the family to learn to deal with the psychiatric and behavioral problems which may have led to placement, and prepares the patient and family for life after discharge and the need to remain in treatment in one capacity or another.
