For too long, abusive programs have gotten away with hurting kids. But groups like Inspired Care™ are fighting back. By educating families, supporting survivors, and demanding laws, we can shut down the worst places and keep teens safe.
The journey through residential treatment is challenging enough without discovering the therapies promised aren’t being delivered. By asking pointed questions, documenting responses, and maintaining involvement, you create accountability that benefits your child and potentially improves the facility’s practices for all residents.
Utah’s Department of Human Services (DHS) licenses RTCs but does not require general liability or professional liability insurance. This means facilities can legally operate without coverage for negligent supervision, and abuse allegations.
Ensuring the safety and well-being of their child requires parents to be diligent and assertive in seeking comprehensive information from these RTC’s.
If an RTC discourages or refuses to answer a parent from asking questions about those basic items, a parent should skip consideration of that RTC and move on to another more professional facility if at all possible.
Why verify Residential Treatment insurance? Choosing an uninsured residential treatment center could leave your family financially devastated if accidents occur. Learn how uninsured RTCs risk teens’ safety through real cases like reckless joyrides and uninsured transport—and use our step-by-step checklist to ensure your facility carries critical coverage.
