- A Day Treatment Program operates seven days a week providing therapeutic groups and services designed to develop and foster the skills needed for successful functioning in family or outpatient settings.
- South Bay High School is a Non-Public School (NPS) where credentialed instructors experienced with emotionally disturbed youth develop Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and provide special educational services, allowing the adolescents to maintain and advance their educational status while receiving therapeutic care.
- Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) are provided to qualifying youngsters who need additional guidance and support. Skilled mental health staff members work with the youngsters on a one-to-one basis, helping them avoid placement in a more restrictive, higher level of care and assisting them in transitioning to lower levels of care.
- A Workability Program is offered through the California Department of Education. Designated adolescents in the program work on and off campus, guided by a job coach. The Workability Program helps the youngsters develop the skills necessary to succeed in the community following discharge and to avoid joblessness as adults.
- A Community Services Program supports youngsters transitioning from the Adolescent Center to community living (group homes, foster families, kinship care, or family reunification). Community Services staff collaborate with teachers, principals, and other school personnel to achieve goals established by the student, family, and treatment professionals. In-home counseling services help youngsters thrive in their new school and family or other community living environment.
