Residential Therapeutic Homes

Where there is Love there is Life

In our Residential Therapeutic homes, teens live on-site with 24-hour support and supervision. Which consists of three homes; 19 beds, 2 female facilities, and 2 male facilities, treating families all over Ohio. At Second Chance Dayton we understand many teens both young women, and men may suffer from mental health disorders, behavioral and/or emotional difficulties, needing the guidance of our residential program’s compassionate staff, structure, nurturing, and safe environment. We promote the development of coping skills, a healthy sense of self-esteem, and autonomy in every interaction we have with every one of our clients participating in our residential programs. We offer a variety of programs within the agency in which those living in our residential home are required to participate in as a part of one’s progress. As there is no such thing as a bad child, and no one child alike, we ensure that each teen who comes to us has an individualized service plan based upon a cognitive-behavioral model of treatment that will meet all of their needs in order to transition youth.
