Nebraska DHHS Strengthens Services & Programming At Youth Rehabilitation & Treatment Centers
On October 21, 2019, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced plans to strengthen services and programming at its three Youth Rehabilitation and Treatment Centers (YRTCs) to create a continuum of care. The YRTCs serve juvenile offenders 14 through 18 years old who are placed there by the courts. The goals are to create a system that provides an appropriate level of care for youth and security as they progress in treatment. The system will provide targeted interventions to high-acuity, at-risk youth separate from the core group of youth who are positively responding to programming . . .
