MRTC is a cognitive behavioral treatment program that attempts to help juveniles identify and change their dysfunctional beliefs, thoughts, and patterns of behavior that contribute to their unruliness or delinquency. The facility allows juveniles the opportunity to remain in Darke County while receiving treatment and support from local service providers. MRTC collaborates with Darke County Recovery Services, Darke County Mental Health Services, Darke County Children Services, Gateway Youth Services and local city and county schools.
In the past three years, MRTC has been the home to over 40 Darke County juveniles. The average length of the program is between six to twelve months, depending on the behavior of the resident. The goal of the program is to produce law-abiding, productive young men who can be re-unified with their families. If you are interested in learning more about the program or participating in a mentoring program, please call 548-6838.
