A Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is a facility designed to provide intensive therapeutic care for individuals, often children or adolescents, facing emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges. These centers offer a structured environment where residents receive 24-hour support from trained professionals, including therapists and counselors. Treatment typically includes individual and group therapy, educational support, and life skills training. Residents usually stay at an RTC for a specified period, depending on their needs and progress. The goal is to help them develop coping strategies, improve their mental health, and prepare for a successful return to their families or communities. RTCs often collaborate with families to ensure ongoing support and care.
