Welcome
Located in the Historic
District of Swansea, Massachusetts, Stevens Treatment Programs provides
comprehensive services to adolescent boys who require the safety and
consistency of our residential treatment program. Stevens is a private,
non-profit corporation. Programs include a Chapter 766-approved Special
Education School, a licensed Residential Treatment Center and a
campus-based Intensive Treatment Residence. The Transitional Living
Program in Fall River, Massachusetts serves up to 8 DCF-involved youth
within this community-based group home.
Overview of Programs & Services
Stevens serves adolescent males whose behavioral and emotional
needs cannot adequately be met within home and community. Youth served
by Stevens require a comprehensive treatment program tailored to address
their needs. Our programs provide structured, therapeutic environments
that are safe and secure. The Attachment, Regulation and Competence
(ARC) trauma-informed model provides the framework for services provided
by Stevens. Our trauma-informed, strengths-based approach supports youth
by teaching them individualized skills to succeed at home, in school,
and in their community; to make positive life choices; and develop
healthy, life-long relationships.
