Costello Prep provides clinical services for each resident, which begins with an intake assessment that helps identify areas for support. The development of the juvenile is addressed by a cognitive-behavioral treatment focus, New Freedom, a cognitive-based social learning curriculum delivered within the structure of an adolescent therapeutic community. Each resident also participates in case action planning, which targets goals specific to individual needs. Costello Prep reviews each resident and their plan for progress on a monthly basis. Residents of Costello Prep also participate in individual and group counseling which supports good decision-making. |
