Overview
Red Top Meadows Treatment Center (RTM) is a small,
14-bed, Residential Treatment Program and Therapeutic Wilderness Program
for adolescent boys ages 12-17. RTM has been in operation providing
therapeutic services since 1980.
Located in Jackson Hole Wyoming, RTM operates on 20 acres bordering Bridger-Teton National Forest and the Snake River Mountain Range. Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks are just to the north of us.
Our Goal is to help adolescent boys improve the quality of their lives and to increase the likelihood that they will become respectful members of their community. Our students learn how to initiate positive change in their lives and discover more about themselves and their relationships with others. RTM helps our students and their families find solutions to personal problems and family conflicts.
RTM Programs combine a variety of approaches and experiences that have proven helpful in reaching our students' identified goals. The RTM program is designed to address the educational, emotional and physical aspects of our students' lives and is considerate of all our students' needs.

Family Involvement
We feel strongly that family involvement is an essential part of the treatment process for the following reasons:
-
To be involved in productive goal setting
-
To support and guide the child through the changes the child is trying to make
-
To provide useful background information and advice regarding the child (Parents know their child the best)
-
To maintain positive change and future growth
