At Barium Springs Home for Children, our Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) is home to up to nine children between 8-18 years old. Called King Home, this facility serves children with severe emotional, behavioral and psychological problems who need a highly structured, therapeutic environment. Children often enter this facility suffering depression, anxiety, severe stress, aggression towards themselves or others, and oppositional defiant behavior.
With an average stay of six months, the program is designed to help children step down to a less structured treatment as soon as possible such as outpatient counseling, group home placement or other non-secure community interventions. A medical model of care, all services are under the direction of a board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist with nursing staff onsite 24 hours a day. Every child has an individualized treatment plan that includes daily therapy, medication management, and educational classes and recreational activities.
If you would like to refer a child to one of our programs, please download an application or send inquiries and /or completed application to:
