The Catholic Charities Secure Residential Intensive Treatment Units are secure, inpatient residential treatment facilities for struggling male and female adolescents ages 12-18, who can not be served safely or who have experienced minimal levels of success in less restrictive environments. Our comprehensive program offers a wide array of growth-promoting activities aimed at facilitating true and lasting change through a positive, structured, social-learning environment. Programming includes individual, family, recreational, and group therapy, a fully-integrated therapeutic and educational component, as well as community involvement. We have two locations to serve: Fergus Falls, MN and St. Cloud, MN. Both sites include:
  • Fully secure units to safely serve those with higher security needs
  • On-site school staffed with Special Education teachers
  • The opportunity for clients to transition into an open Residential Treatment Unit when appropriate
  • A larger Clinical team available as consultants including: Psychiatric Consultation, Health Services, Experiential Learning Program, Chemical Awareness and Support Services, Youth Ministry, and Vocational experiences
