Home & Community Treatment

Woodfords’ Home & Community Treatment (HCT) program embraces the concept of consumer and family-centered planning and treatment, recognize that all children and families have strengths that can help them get through difficult times. Trained staff work with the family to use these strengths to implement plans for lasting change.
