Midwest Center For Youth & Families Proudly Serves Our Military Families
Specialized treatment for adolescents
Midwest Center offers a full-immersion Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program for adolescents with pervasive emotional, behavioral or psychiatric challenges that impact the youth’s functioning at home, in school and within the community.

The residential program is for males ages 12 to 18 and females ages 10 to 18. The
program features all levels of staff, including our licensed teachers, being trained in DBT,
as well as clinical staff participating in regular meetings with a DBT consultant to provide adherent treatment. Our comprehensive program is working toward certification through DBT-LBC.

DBT is central to every aspect of our programming, all day, every day.

  • Locked and secure, pro-social and seclusion-free environment
