Description:  Residential Counseling Centers (RCC) provide services in graduated levels of care for children and youth who are leaving a psychiatric hospital setting, or in some cases for youth who must be placed out of the home for a short term crisis intervention, but not in need of inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. These services are provided in a community-based setting, offering short-term placement, providing acute and intensive treatment, and attempting to avert inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Additionally, there is a Residential Counseling Center for youth in DCYF care between the ages of 5 and 12.
