About The Position

Devereux's residential programs provide 24/7 structured, therapeutic living environments for children and adolescents with significant emotional, behavioral, developmental, or psychiatric needs who require more intensive support than outpatient services can provide. Across its campuses, these programs combine individual and group therapy, psychiatric services, educational support, life skills training, and comprehensive assessments to address each youth’s unique strengths and challenges. The residential setting offers a safe place where multidisciplinary teams deliver applied behavior analysis, occupational/physical therapy, dual diagnosis care, and other specialized clinical interventions, while also preparing residents for a successful transition back to home or community settings. Family involvement and coordinated treatment planning are key components of care, ensuring that therapeutic gains are sustained beyond the program.
