Christ Child House

Christ Child House is a specialized residential treatment center located in Michigan, dedicated to providing intensive care in a secure and supportive environment for boys between the ages of 6 and 16 who are experiencing trauma. In 2024, the facility implemented enhancements to its mental health behavioral stabilization (MHBS) program, allowing for more personalized attention due to improved staff-to-child ratios. Their holistic model includes comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, research-backed therapies, and tailored interventions suitable for different age groups, equipping both younger boys and older youths with vital life skills necessary for their future. The center prioritizes a trauma-informed and family-focused approach in its programming. Services provided include residential treatment, mental health support, therapy, educational resources, and activities aimed at developing life skills, promoting independence, and recreational enjoyment. Utilizing diverse therapeutic methods such as art and animal therapy, alongside workshops and engaging excursions, they foster a nurturing atmosphere conducive to healing, directing children toward promising paths ahead. The program also includes explorations of local attractions like museums and sporting events, as well as adventurous activities like rock climbing and ice skating, which help build teamwork and social connections.

The center specializes in addressing mental health disorders alongside co-occurring substance use issues. Here, you will benefit from tailored, collaborative care that focuses on both aspects to promote comprehensive healing.

At Christ Child House, we recognize the importance of making our services accessible to all families in need of intensive residential care. We work closely with a variety of insurance providers to facilitate coverage for our comprehensive mental health programs, ensuring that children aged 6 to 16 receive the essential support they require during critical times. We accept several insurance plans, including Medicaid and commercial insurance, which may cover various aspects of our qualified residential treatment services. It is our commitment to help families navigate the complexities of insurance processes, and our dedicated staff is available to assist with verifying coverage and understanding benefits. For families without insurance, we strive to develop flexible payment options that may include sliding scale fees, depending on the individual circumstances and needs. Our goal is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to engage in our trauma-informed, child and family-centered programming, which incorporates psychiatric assessments, therapeutic support, and skills development activities. If you have specific questions regarding your insurance coverage or payment options, we encourage you to contact our admissions team. We are here to help you find the best solutions for your child's needs while providing the highest quality of care at Christ Child House.
