Maintenance

Description

About Our Facility: TCI is a high-end, 48-bed, residential facility, licensed and accredited in the State of Illinois. TCI

provides an intensive, 24-hour therapeutic treatment environment for young men from the ages of 12-19. Through milieu

therapy, we promote a community-based, systematic approach that focuses on positive behavior interactions,

interventions and supports within the parameters of a safe, secure and structured milieu environment. Within our milieu

environment, our goal is to build self-esteem, teach individual accountability as well as appropriate coping, social and

problem-solving skills so that our youth gain the tools necessary to interact appropriately with others in various social

settings. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), our clinicians take a goal-oriented approach at turning previously

held maladaptive and distorted thoughts, undesirable feelings and responses, and inappropriate behaviors into those that

are more befitting allowing our youth to successfully execute their environment now and in their future endeavors.
