Boys Town Residential Treatment Center

The Boys Town Residential Treatment Center in Nebraska offers secure, medically directed psychiatric care for children and adolescents ages 5 to 17 who face severe behavioral and mental health challenges. Licensed as a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) and accredited by The Joint Commission, the Center specializes in treating youth with complex emotional needs, co-occurring conditions, past hospitalizations, or histories of unsuccessful outpatient care.

With separate programs tailored for children (ages 5–11) and adolescents (ages 12–17), Boys Town provides a structured therapeutic environment that includes 24-hour professional supervision, medication evaluation and reduction, and integrated physical and mental health care. Treatment is developmentally appropriate, family-centered, and culturally competent, ensuring individualized care that emphasizes both emotional healing and academic recovery.

The facility features an on-site licensed school with credit recovery options and a robust aftercare program to support long-term success. Boys Town's holistic approach addresses issues such as trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harm, legal troubles, and behavioral disruptions—helping children and teens build stability, resilience, and hope for the future.
