What is Residential Treatment?
The Becket House at Litchfield’s Young Adult Program, is a residential program for young adult males, typically between the age of 18-26 who would benefit from some extra support before moving out on their own. The goal of the program is to assist the clients in making a full transition into adulthood while maximizing their overall independence. The Litchfield House is a “hands-off” treatment program, meaning our clients do not require any form of physical intervention to maintain their safety.
