AVALON HORIZONS PROGRAM

rn

The Horizons Program opened in October 2008. The treatment programming and client group are similar to that of the rural girls' program (Avalon Specialized Services). Avalon provides residential treatment programming for complex youth. There is a Section 23 classroom attached to this program.

We encourage placement workers who wish to place a youth at our facility to submit a referral package for review. If the individual will benefit from the program, a pre-placement visit including the youth’s Social Worker, potential candidate and family members (if applicable) will be arranged. If you would like a tour of our facility or more information, please feel free to contact
