Southeastern Wyoming
Juvenile Center
Southeastern Wyoming Juvenile Center (SWJC) is a nationally
and state accredited 96-bed Acute Care Stabilization and
Behavioral Health Program that offers residents a highly
structured and secure environment designed to meet the
psychosocial, and environmental issues.

SWJC Substance Abuse Treatment and Psychiatric Residential
Treatment (PRTF) programs uses a multi-disciplinary treatment
approach that focuses on teaching youth responsibility and
accountability for their behaviors, addresses their clinical needs,
and builds on appropriate behaviors and interactions with others.
The multi-disciplinary treatment team is comprised of a physician
administrator, medical director, psychiatric social worker, a
psychologist, licensed masters level clinicians, case managers,
life skills specialists, education staff, administrative staff, and
therapeutic direct care workers to ensure best practice and a
safe recovery environment is offered to all residents of the
program.

SWJC holistic and specialized services span a wide-range of
mental health, psychiatric, substance abuse/ addiction,
behavioral, medical, and education services to the resident and
support to the family. Due to SWJC’s secure residential
environment, the program is utilized by patient placement officials
to provide stabilizing services for challenging youth that other
programs and facilities have had difficulty with successfully
treating the patient. There is a high staff to youth ratio
influencing close supervision with a focused emphasis on
relationships, role modeling, responsible attitudes and behaviors,
meaningful interactions, and commitment to the treatment
services to foster and support desired behavioral and cognitive
changes in the residents.   

SWJC treatment program uses a comprehensive therapeutic
milieu to coordinate and integrate residential living and the
delivery of treatment services with other program components
such as security, medical, psychiatric, social services, nutrition,
education and recreation.   Each youth assessed and treated is
expected to actively participate in their treatment plan and work
hard towards their recovery.
