About YHA Glenn Heights.

Our goal for YHA Glenn Heights is to be a fully credentialed TC3 Tier 2 Residential Treatment Center in Texas in 2025. We are dedicated to providing specialized care for male youth exhibiting sexual aggressive behavior. We offer a safe, structured environment that focuses on therapeutic intervention, behavior modification, and skill development to address underlying issues and support rehabilitation, helping these individuals build a foundation for healthier, more positive interactions in the future.

YHA Program

Youth Health Associates (YHA) provides a structured, staff-secure residential treatment program designed to serve moderate- to high-risk adolescent males aged 12 to 18 who exhibit sexually maladaptive behaviors. YHA utilizes a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Care, and Sexual Offense-Specific Treatment to address sexually maladaptive behaviors, social skill deficits, emotional instability, and other co-occurring mental health concerns.

Key components of the program include:

  • Individual & Group Therapy:

    Each resident participates in a minimum of two 60-minute individual sessions, and two 90-minute group sessions weekly, focusing on topics such as healthy relationships, empathy building, and relapse prevention.

  • Psychiatric and Medication Management:

    Residents meet with a psychiatrist monthly or as needed to manage psychotropic medications and address mental health symptoms.

  • Family Therapy:

    Family sessions are conducted weekly when appropriate to strengthen family engagement, address systemic concerns, and reinforce family safety planning.

  • Psycho-Social-Rehabilitative Services (PRS) Groups:

    Residents attend PRS groups twice daily for 60 minutes each, which emphasize social skills, conflict resolution, and behavior management strategies.

  • Core Correctional Practices:

    Staff utilize behavioral reinforcement strategies 24/7 to encourage prosocial behaviors and promote accountability.

  • Academic Programming:

    Residents receive structured academic services through an accredited self-contained classroom to ensure educational stability during treatment.
