Rosemont Treatment Center

Rosemont Treatment Center & School is the largest secure residential treatment center for adolescent girls in the Pacific Northwest. The program is a leader in serving troubled girls, helping them rebuild their self-esteem and become equipped for health and success. A 26-bed facility is staffed 24 hours a day. It contains a living unit, cafeteria, an accredited school, a library, a teen health clinic, an outdoor recreation field and a covered recreation area.
