Court-Ordered Secure Treatment

We have introduced court-ordered admissions into Youthdale's secure treatment program as of October 30th, 2023, a new pathway to the Acute Support Unit that reflects our dedication to continuous improvement and our unwavering pursuit of excellence in serving young people.

Through a court-ordered admission, a judge will order a young person to our Acute Support Unit (ASU) program for a specific length of time, typically between 3-6 months. This is a significant shift from emergency orders, which have a treatment term cap of 30 days.

With court-ordered admissions, our ASU team will have a unique opportunity to provide comprehensive assessment, stabilization, and a lengthier period for treatment. This extended timeframe will have a significant impact on the outcomes we can achieve, allowing us to delve deeper into therapeutic interventions and support for the young individuals entrusted to our care.

All inquiries about our court-ordered secure treatment program can be directed to our Intake Team at 416-363-3751, ext. 2000 or by emailing intake@youthdale.ca.
