Youth Residential Treatment

Parrott Creek has created a new standard of care for youth residential treatment on our brand-new, $30M, 80 acre trauma-informed campus. Building on our 56-year heritage of providing residential programs to Oregon’s most vulnerable youth, we worked with local and national experts to re-envision the care, treatment and physical spaces offered in residential settings. We have developed sector-leading, transformative, and culturally responsive approaches, placing ourselves at the heart of statewide efforts to meet the ever-changing needs of vulnerable children and families. 

And we have a successful track-record: over 90% of youth report positive changes in their lives, a strong therapeutic relationship with staff, and that treatment was helpful in achieving their goals.

Intro Video for Youth

Parrott Creek provides three residential programs for adolescents: 

The Ranch

The Ranch is a program tailored to juvenile male youth ages 13-18 who are in the custody of The Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) and are in need of Behavioral Rehabilitation Services.

Next Step

Next Step is co-occurring substance use and mental health treatment for male youth ages 13 to 18, at ASAM 3.1 to 3.5. Anyone can refer, including parents.

New Era

New Era provides residential care for male youth ages 13 to 18 in the custody of ODHS Child Welfare who have not succeeded in foster care or other placements. Referrals come through child welfare only.

With a focus on developing sustainable, prosocial behaviors, and skills that help them overcome trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences, our caring staff help youth develop life skills, accountability, personal regulation, and the belief that they can be successful.

Our programs work from unconditional positive regard: the belief that a young person is doing the best they can with the tools and chances they have. We support youth and families to build the skills that get them to their own goals. Each program provides individual, group and family counseling by master’s-level therapists. Youth also join skill-building groups that are culturally responsive and trauma-informed. Youth who stay connected to the people they are going home to do better after discharge. That is why our therapists build family sessions and transition planning into the plan from the start.

Mental health and drug and alcohol counseling both happen on site. Certified alcohol and drug counselors (CADCs) provide this counseling, overseen by a CADC-II-level clinician. We also work with youth who exhibit sexually inappropriate or harmful behavior.

Youth attend our on-site school delivered in partnership with Clackamas Education Service District where youth can gain a high school diploma or GED. We also offer a number of enrichment activities, including an on-site gym, basketball court, playing field, art classes, community and cultural field trips, and environmental education with access to our 80 acres of forest, creeks and wetland areas.
