Sexual Aggression Prevention

The Sexual Aggression Prevention Program at Lighthouse Care Center of Conway assists adolescent males and females who are between the ages of 12 and 21 at admission. Residents live in a secure, 30-bed unit that includes a well-structured medical model/cognitive behavioral therapeutic milieu.

The Psychiatric Residential Treatment Program (PRTF) offered by Lighthouse Care Center of Conway (LCC) focuses on a multi-faceted approach to the treatment of adolescents within a medical model setting. Disorders treated on the PRTF unit include self- injurious behaviors, schizophrenia, Tourette’s syndrome, Asperger’s syndrome and other serious mental illnesses requiring medication model therapy. The Sexual Aggression Prevention Program (SAPP) is for those individuals with any of the above conditions and who have had a history of sexually aggressive or sexually reactive behavior. The Mission Statement for SAPP is as follows:

To provide comprehensive assessment and treatment for sexually aggressive or reactive residents, and when possible, include their families and caregivers in the treatment process.
