Girls’ Program Details

What is Project Patch? A licensed therapeutic residential treatment program that offers an individualized program for boys and girls.  Both programs operate from the same campus; however, boys and girls are kept separate for therapeutic reasons.  Learn more about our licenses and accreditations.

Where do the youth stay? At our 169-acre mountain campus, located an hour north of Boise, Idaho.  The girls’ dorm houses up to 18 girls.  Three girls are assigned to each room, and each room has a private bathroom.  The dorm has a lobby as well as an area for hobbies.

What ages can you help? We are licensed for girls ages 12 – 18.  Your daughter will need to be under the age of 17 to enter the program.
