Welcome to the Gracehouse Treatment Center, Cornerstone Treatment Facility and Hope Gardens Treatment Center Website. We are providers of Psychiatric Residential Treatment Services. I am pleased you have taken the time to stop by and browse through our information. I hope that you will find our website as unique and comprehensive as we believe our services and programs to be.

Gracehouse Treatment Center (GTC), located in the beautiful town of Raeford, North Carolina, began operations in September 2007. Cornerstone Treatment Facility, located in the heart of Wadesboro, North Carolina, (CTF) began its operations in March of 2009. Hope Gardens Treatment Center (HGTC) located in Raeford, North Carolina is currently under construction and is projected to begin serving consumers in April 2010. Our programs specialize in delivering high-quality residential treatment services to at-risk males between the ages of (9-17) with special needs.

Our facilities are Nationally Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for its residential treatment (child and adolescent) programs. This signifies our commitment to ongoing quality improvement and our desire to improve the lives of the individuals we serve.

We believe that the quality of our programs reflects our responsiveness to client needs and that success is indeed possible for children with mental illness and behavioral problems. Initially, we assist clients in becoming aware that there is light beyond the darkness and tragedy that these ailments can bring. We also help instill the ideas of empowerment and self-advocacy in each of our consumers through a carefully planned set of programs and individual supports. We help children realize that consumer empowerment is about being able to advocate for oneself and others in a way that is strong and life-affirming. To that end, we involve our consumers in virtually all of the decisions that affect their lives.

While every component of treatment planning and goal setting is finalized by licensed professional staff, it is always done in concert with our consumers and reflects the needs that they have expressed. All of our services provide the opportunity for individuals to develop independent living and socialization skills and to make use of vocational and educational assistance; these services provide an evidenced based alternative to hospital-based programs.
