Applewood provides residential treatment for youth ages 11 to 18 who have a variety of severe mental health needs or have demonstrated self-injurious, risk-taking, and aggressive behaviors. Through a multidisciplinary approach, we work with clients to address each of their individual complex needs — building upon their strengths toward recovery. Our team works with youth on character development and self management, along with leadership development and positive peer culture. Applewood has two programs, Apple Blossom and Orchard, which provide the following services:
Along with the treatment provided in this program, residents have access to Applewood’s other behavioral health and social service programs including foster care and counseling services. These programs are often used to help transition clients back into the community.
Last year, the Residential Treatment Program served over one hundred youth from the following 26 Ohio counties:
Cuyahoga, Ashtabula, Belmont, Clark, Clinton, Erie, Fairfield, Franklin, Fulton, Geauga, Guernsey, Lake, Licking, Lorain, Mahoning, Medina, Montgomery, Noble, Paulding, Pike, Putnam, Seneca, Summit, Trumbull, Tuscarawast, and Vinton.
This residential treatment program provides intensive, multi-faceted therapeutic services for youth with severe emotional and behavioral difficulties. Latency-age children are accepted on a case-by-case basis.
These youth are unable to live safely in the community and often have experienced a mixture of acute and long-standing difficulties that have not responded adequately to previous treatment. Initial presenting problems may include developmental delays, aggressive and impulsive behaviors, symptoms of sexual abuse, disturbance of mood, extreme fears, severe relationship difficulties, risk of harm to self or others and school failure.
The Apple Blossom program specializes in the following treatment:
All treatment and interventions are focused on recovery. The structured living environment builds trusting relationships, encourages respect for self and others, promotes personal growth and responsibility and fosters hope for the future.
Orchard provides programming for youth who have been largely unsuccessful in community-based efforts to help build appropriate coping and social skills. Orchard provides an inter-disciplinary team of energetic, creative and dynamic staff committed to the success and well-being of our clients. The clients in Orchard typically have a history of trauma, attachment issues, and behavioral/emotional outbursts. It is our goal to provide exciting and engaging programs to help them grow into successful and effective young adults.
Orchard specializes in the following treatment:
Applewood's Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) is available for eligible OhioRISE enrollees, ages 13-17 with complex mental health needs and their families/guardians/caregivers.
