Developmental Program

The Developmental Program of Coastal Harbor Treatment Center is designed to meet the specific developmental needs of adolescents between the ages of 7 to 17, and their families. The DD program offers a wide range of services to children and adolescents with serious emotional disorders and learning challenges. The services focus on positive alternatives to the traditional residential program by providing quality education, social skills training, adaptive life skills, behavior modification, individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy to meet their developmental challenges.
