Admission Considerations

While our residential service array can serve youth with a wide variety of issues, our programs are not appropriate for youth struggling with the following:

• Sexual offending behaviors
• Significant fire-setting behaviors
• Active and diagnosed eating disorders
• Severe aggression with weapons
• Pregnant youth

• Youth with significant ASD presentations (ASD2/ASD 3 with high support needs). 
• Youth with FS IQs below 40 (50/60?) or with significant cognitive impairments that would impact their ability to fully grasp the concepts of our DBT curriculum.

The Cost of Residential Treatment

Families frequently partner with outside stakeholders and treatment team members to fund residential treatment. Common funding partners include:

• School districts
• County children service boards
• County family and children first councils
• OhioRISE
• Juvenile court systems
• Private Pay

Bellefaire does not accept commercial insurance for residential treatment.

Finding the right treatment program can be an overwhelming process for caregivers. At Bellefaire JCB, our Admissions team, comprised solely of independently licensed clinicians, provides personalized support and guidance for caregivers navigating this journey with their struggling youth.  Each referral is matched with a dedicated Admissions Specialist who is available to answer any questions or concerns as well as review for clinical appropriatness.  If your child is then accepted to one of our programs, that Admissions Specialist then facilitates the admission, ensuring continuity of care from the point of referral inquiry to the initiation of residential treatment.
