Tamarack Center has been providing a quiet refuge of treatment and hope for children and their families since 1984. Tamarack works with adolescents whose problems include suicide attempts, mood or thought disturbances, ADHD, learning disabilities, history of abuse or history of aggressive behavior. The focus of the program is to help these young people break a desperate cycle of emotional illness, low self-esteem and self-destructive behavior.
Tamarack uses a combination of intensive treatment, compassion, family involvement and community outings to address their multiple needs. Tamarack Center serves 16 in-patient residents who are between the ages of 12 and 18; providing intensive 24-hour treatment. The small size of the facility and high ratio of staff to residents promotes relationship building and trust. Tamarack provides a secure, healthy, consistent and nurturing environment for youth.
