Westchester Day Treatment Program

Westchester Day Treatment Program provides a comprehensive array of interdisciplinary services to help children, adolescents, and their families function to their full potential. Young people are engaged in therapeutic, educational, and recreational activities designed to foster skills, build structure, and support academic success.

How it works

During the admission process, youth and families are provided with information about the program and an explanation of the services offered. With the participation of parents and guardians encouraged, staff develop a treatment plan based on an evaluation of a child or adolescent’s age, behavior, functioning, strengths, and needs.
