Residential Treatment Center: The Director of Admissions is available to talk with families or agencies about potential applicants. The Center requires that referral information be sent to determine if the applicant meets criteria for admission.

In addition to appropriate referring information, a girl must be between 13-18 years, and must be in grades 8-12. Services are not designed for the developmentally disabled. Family therapy is an essential component of the program. The Applicant and her family must agree to work together with Center staff. Good Shepherd Center admits girls of any race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin.

The final decision for admission is based upon the treatment needs for the applicant and the Center's ability to meet those needs.
