LA SELVA RESIDENTIAL

La Selva's residential program provides a comprehensive and individualized treatment in a compassionate, warm house like environment.

In this setting we teach independent living skills and socialization skills necessary for successful community living. La Selva's residential program also provides a comprehensive clinical program designed to help residents cope with the intra psychic issues that interfere with an independent lifestyle. We believe that in order for you to have successful treatment you need to understand the underlying issues of your behavior.

Our clinical team includes Psychiatrist, Psychologist, Marriage and Family Therapist and Recreational Coordinators. An excellent staff to resident ratio provides 24 hour individualized treatment. Upon entering La Selva's residential program each resident is assigned to a primary therapist. Individual therapy is a significant aspect of the La Selva experience. This helps us provide the special kind of care that La Selva is known for.

La Selva's day treatment program on California Avenue in Palo Alto is also an important aspect to residential care. Our residents are taken there on weekdays where they attend groups and activities. This routine of getting up and going to the day program helps prepare them for transitioning back to their communities in an effective manner. Upon graduating from the La Selva residential program, 85% of the residents move to more independent living situations.
