Ala. Admin. Code r. 950-1-10-.01 - Introduction
(1) The Alabama
Department of Youth Services is committed to the concept of effective
rehabilitation of Delinquent Youth through the development and utilization of
community operated programs and facilities.
(2) These minimum Standards for Comprehensive
Youth Services Centers, or day treatment programs, were developed in order to
bring about well planned, coordinated and cooperative local-state efforts to
increase and improve Programs for Delinquent Youth.
(3) Comprehensive Youth Service Centers are
emerging as a form of day treatment programs for youths who live at home. The
centers provide in one Agency: education, counseling, career guidance, job
development, recreation, and skills for independent living. The general Program
goal is to provide a community based Youth Facility with treatment and
rehabilitative educational services. The Comprehensive Youth Services Center
should not be considered a panacea of care for all youths. It is a distinct
resource in its own right that is a part of the whole broad spectrum of
resources available to troubled youth.
(4) These minimum Standards represent the
first guidelines established which address the specific programmatic, fiscal,
and administrative area necessary to establish sound Comprehensive Youth
Services Centers. We hope that through a state-local cooperative effort,
communities will be encouraged to develop and enhance these type
Programs.
