For Boston Families Looking Beyond State Lines for a Teen Residential Treatment Center
In our experience with families, they describe spending significant time searching for a local teen residential treatment center before turning their attention to out-of-state possibilities. Though the choice to send a teen outside Massachusetts for care is a difficult one, sometimes the ideal program to support their needs can only be found beyond state lines.
