Ryther Child Center’s Sub-Acute Care Program provides intensive treatment 24/7 for
children ages 6–12 with significant histories of abuse and neglect and resultant
behavioral and emotional challenges. Our multidisciplinary team includes full time
psychiatry, psychology, case management and therapy provided by Masters level
clinicians. Compassionate counselors maintain a predictable and nurturing environment.
Most children attend Ryther’s on-campus K-8 school and enjoy appropriate outings and
activities. After treatment, children transition to a less restrictive setting,
including Ryther’s own therapeutic foster care. Ryther operates three cottages
with beds for 36 children ages 6-12. Children may receive treatment on campus
from 30 days up to one year. Our cottages offer as home-like a setting as possible.
Children eat family-style meals prepared by staff, and have their own bedrooms.
A staff to client ratio of 1:2.5 creates a safe and stable environment, and allows
us to offer caring attention while children receive intensive treatment.
