Welcome

Located in the Historic District of Swansea, Massachusetts, Stevens Treatment Programs provides comprehensive services to adolescent boys who require the safety and consistency of our residential treatment program. Stevens is a private, non-profit corporation. Programs include a Chapter 766-approved Special Education School, a licensed Residential Treatment Center and a campus-based Intensive Treatment Residence. The Transitional Living Program in Fall River, Massachusetts serves up to 8 DCF-involved youth within this community-based group home.

Overview of Programs & Services

Stevens serves adolescent males whose behavioral and emotional needs cannot adequately be met within home and community. Youth served by Stevens require a comprehensive treatment program tailored to address their needs. Our programs provide structured, therapeutic environments that are safe and secure. The Attachment, Regulation and Competence (ARC) trauma-informed model provides the framework for services provided by Stevens. Our trauma-informed, strengths-based approach supports youth by teaching them individualized skills to succeed at home, in school, and in their community; to make positive life choices; and develop healthy, life-long relationships.
