About Child & Adolescent Day Treatment

Day Treatment at ICS is a non-residential, intensive, structured, therapeutic treatment program for children and adolescents who are having difficulty functioning in their lives.
Help with daily functioning

With careful guidance from our experienced staff, ICS Therapeutic Day Treatment Programs use Positive Peer Pressure in a group therapy setting to move participants toward accepting responsibility for their behaviors and changing behaviors that aren’t working for them.

Our programs utilize a proven, hands-off approach with no need for physical restraint.

Client Needs

ICS Day Treatment Programs are designed to help children (ages 5-8, 8-12) and adolescents (ages 13-17) who are displaying emotional or behavioral difficulties at home, in school or in the community. Characteristics include:

• Oppositional or defiant behaviors
• Truancy
• Lack of accountability
• Lack of structure
• Struggling with depression, abuse experience, alcohol or drug abuse

Half-Day Programs

Each ICS Therapeutic Day Treatment group meets half-days, five times per week. Because ICS Day Treatment is community based, clients stay in their schools, remain in their communities and continue to reside in their own home, foster home or group home where they can practice their new skills.
