JUVENILE CENTER 
Welcome to the Washington County Juvenile Center! PHILOSOPHY Washington County Juvenile Center is a residential rehabilitation facility for youth between the ages of twelve and eighteen committed by the Juvenile Judge. The Center's mission is to provide a safe, structured environment where a delinquent youth receives professional help and support to address the problems causing the negative behaviors through a behavioral modification program. The Center challenges the residents to modify their behaviors by changing the way they think. The Judge, recognizing the importance of involving the youth's family in the program, orders parents to participate in family counseling, team meetings, parent/teacher conferences, and parenting education classes conducted at the Center. Qualified and caring professionals individualize services for the youth and his family, in order to facilitate a change in not only the youth's behavior but also the youth's home environment.
