Treatment Foster Homes

Professional Treatment Parents are remarkable people who open their homes and hearts to help ACS students on their journey toward a healthier lifestyle.

Treatment Parents receive extensive training and continual support from ACS Community Programs staff.

Their homes – Therapeutic Foster Homes or Treatment Homes – provide a safe, family environment.

Treatment Homes are a short-term (about one year) placement generally utilized by students transitioning from residential or hospital treatment or have mental health needs that cannot be met in their own home.

Treatment Parents are part of the Treatment Team which, in addition to the student, may include:

  • Parents / guardian / foster parents
  • Siblings and extended family
  • Therapist / social worker
  • Teachers / mentors
  • Coaches
  • Family friends

Each student is assigned a Case Manager who works closely with the student and Treatment Parents to ensure the student is progressing toward a healthy lifestyle. The Case Manager also provides Home-Based Services described here.
