About this facility
Beacon Light Behavioral Health Systems – Youngsville offers specialized residential care for youth ages 13–20 with both mental health and intellectual or developmental disabilities. This Joint Commission Accredited program helps clients build personal, social, and community skills while managing difficult behaviors. It is designed for youth who need support beyond what can be provided at home or in the community.
The program uses a family-centered approach built on behavioral therapies, structured learning, and psychosocial interventions. Therapists and staff help youth grow more independent and learn positive, pro-social behaviors. The goal is to remove barriers keeping them from returning home by providing the skills and support needed for long-term success.
Clients live in a single eight-bed unit with private bedrooms in a safe and structured setting. The environment is designed for both males and females and supports healing and growth. Most youth stay for about 6 to 9 months while they work toward reintegration into their family or community.
