Description of Program:
The cornerstone and largest component of Allendale is our 128-bed residential treatment program which includes a 100 acre main campus on Cedar Lake in Lake Villa, IL, a 20-bed facility in Benet Lake, WI (approximately 15 miles north of the main campus), two community based group homes in Waukegan, IL and a community based group home for girls in Highland Park, IL. Individual units serve as homes for 8-12 children or adolescents and are designed to serve a particular population grouped by age, diagnostic profile, and social/emotional functioning level. These programs serve both male and female children and adolescents ranging in age from eight to eighteen who are experiencing a wide variety of problems. The more common "labels" are conduct disorder, emotional/behavioral disability, oppositional defiant disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, post traumatic stress, anxiety disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. While each child's course of treatment is individualized, the following treatment components are available to all in placement, as determined by multidisciplinary treatment planning.
