The Arizona’s Children Association Psychiatric Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is located on the seven-acre campus in Tucson, Arizona that is also home to the Association’s administrative headquarters.

The RTC provides 24-hour psychiatric care to some of the most emotionally disturbed 5-15 year old children in the state. The Center provides services to children from all across the state of Arizona and has been doing so since the 1950s.

Each child has a treatment team who, in conjunction with the child, the family and the referral source, develops and implements an individualized plan. This plan may include:

• Individual, group and family therapy
• Recreational activities and/or an adventure-based ROPES course
• Nursing services and health education
• Nutritional and psychopharmacological services
• On-campus education at the Nellie P. Covert School, an accredited school for both special and non-special education students

Additionally, children may participate in:

• Art Therapy
• Drama/Expressive Arts Therapy
• Coping Skills Groups
• Substance Abuse Groups
• Sexual Issues Groups
