Our Services
CTH provides a continuum of care for youth, offering comprehensive outpatient services from admission through discharge. For those requiring more intensive care, CTH offers residential services at our therapeutic family-style Qualified Residential Treatment Program (QRTP). Our services are accredited by CARF and certified by the Ohio Department of Youth Services, Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and Ohio Department of Children and Youth. In 2013, CTH was awarded the CARF Exemplary Status, and in 2014, CTH was featured in the CARF Promising Practices newsletter.
​
As a trauma-informed agency, CTH utilizes evidence-based trauma treatments, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), “I Feel Better Now” SIT CAP, and SITCAP-ART, to address trauma. Additionally, CTH incorporates Motivational Interviewing and Pathways in clinical services to ensure effective, person-centered treatment. The treatment team recommends trauma-based interventions tailored to the needs of each youth, focusing on fostering recovery and resilience.
Individual, Group & Family Therapy
Behavioral health counseling and therapy is a therapeutic interaction with the person served focusing on the treatment needs. Services are structured sessions to work towards the obtainment of mutually defined treatment goals.
Individualized Treatment Plan
The Individualized Treatment Plan is the result of a collaborative process between the clinical service provider and the person served, based on the diagnostic assessment and the successful identification of interventions and services.
Crisis Services
Crisis services may include assessment, immediate stabilization and a determination of the level of care needed to respond to emergency situations.
Independent Living
Youth are taught the educational, vocational, financial, social and self-care skills necessary to become self-sufficient and successful adults.
Day Treatment
Mental Health Day Treatment is an intensive service offered at multiple days a week, several hours a day for youth with extensive challenges. It is designed to assist with developing skills, managing behaviors to enhance opportunities for success in school/employment and independent living, and to provide interventions to improve treatment outcomes.
Case Management & Service Coordination
Case management and service coordination involves the provision of an array of services to assist in addressing the individual’s behavioral health needs. Services address specific individualized services to focus on improving the individual’s ability to function in the community, help identify and access needed services, and improve the individual's functioning in school, home, and community environment.
Diagnostic Assessment
The diagnostic assessment will be strength based, utilized to form a diagnostic impression, determine level of care and needed services, and drive all treatment recommendations.
Residential (QRTP)
Therapeutic Family-Style Qualified Residential Treatment Program (QRTP) services are delivered using evidence-based trauma-informed practices. These practices emphasize positive reinforcement and behavioral shaping in a family-centered environment, focusing on immediate, continuous teaching and motivation.
​
A central aspect of our approach is the belief that sustainable change occurs when motivation for change is internalized. External motivators are provided but gradually reduced as youth discover self-worth, pride, and intrinsic motivation for growth. The community aspect of programing serves as a “classroom,” offering a safe space for continuous learning and personal development. Based on individual needs and with guardian approval, youth are given opportunities to experience normal childhood activities, learning valuable lessons from both successes and challenges.
