Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
DTAC utilizes a clinical approach that integrates recognized behavioral and cognitive therapies. Treatment modalities include the following:
- Weekly individual psychotherapy provided by a mental health professional
- Daily therapy sessions
- Weekly family therapy sessions
- Curriculum-based groups based on client needs identified through assessment instruments like the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS®) and the Abel Assessment for Sexual Interests Second Edition (AASI II™)
- Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT)
Our programs also employ a comprehensive intervention strategy to manage behaviors rooted in proactive responses, rather than a reactionary method. This process and philosophy occur through the following activities:
- The implementation of a therapeutic community model of treatment advocating a youth-to-youth feedback process supervised by professional staff.
- A high level of individual involvement between the youth and staff in the areas of cognitive therapy, recreational therapy, and individual and group psychotherapy.
- The use of natural and logical consequences for irresponsible behavior.
- The facilitation of techniques via the lecture series of curriculum programs to solve conflict effectively.
- The progression of behavioral freedoms and rewards as incorporated into the phase system.
- The implementation of structural therapy sessions to deal with therapeutic issues that have fostered resentment, anger, and hurt.
- Weekly therapeutic task sheets that focus on specific assignments according to the clients’ treatment plan.
