Sequel TSI-Tuskegee
Sequel TSI of Tuskegee was established in 1998 as a residential treatment facility serving males assigned to the program by the Alabama Department of Youth Services, after being adjudicated by the court. A separate unit is dedicated to serving males placed by the Alabama Department of Human Resources for intensive care treatment. Sequel TSI of Tuskegee is a Medium Risk Secure Facility with 64 beds with 48 licensed by the Alabama Department of Youth Services and 16 beds licensed by the Alabama Department of Human Resources. The treatment staff provides comprehensive, challenging, and therapeutic services for adolescent males ages 12 to 18. Our program utilizes a cognitive behavioral approach to focus on maladaptive behaviors and provides rehabilitative services including individual, group, and family therapy; psycho-e
ducational groups; living skills groups; medication monitoring; psychiatric and medical care; and peer group dynamics therapy. Our program is very "process oriented" and residents learn to verbalize needs, feelings, and goals in a safe environment. The program utilizes a highly effective therapy, Positive Peer Culture (PPC) to emphasize values and team building. PPC therapy empowers residents to make changes by learning from each other, improves social skills and helps them become positive leaders of their peers. Adolescents tend to listen to the advice of peers more than that of adults and the PPC promotes behavior modification wherein youth challenge and change each other with the supervision and guidance of program staff members. These new skills are practiced daily.
