Additional Client Services

Registered Nurse

Arrowhead provides an on-site, full-time registered nurse to attend to most of the daily health needs of our residents. Additional services can be arranged when necessary, and the family or placing agency is ultimately responsible for payment and treatment permission.

Psychological evaluation, consultation and treatment services

Psychological evaluations and treatments are available for all Arrowhead residents from Robert Young Mental Health Center in Moline, Illinois on an as-needed basis. Psychiatric evaluations and consultations are used to support individual treatment plans for residents.

Dental Care

Dental care is coordinated by Arrowhead but is the responsibility of the family/placing agency.  These services are coordinated through Community Health Care.

Recovery Groups

Drug and alcohol recovery groups are offered for residents. These groups are Level I and have a treatment focus but are educational. Youth in need of sexual abuse counseling beyond what is provided in the group setting will be referred to appropriate services. Youth who have a history of committing minor sexual offenses may be referred to Robert Young for participation in a Juvenile Sexual Offender program.

Life Skills and Vocational Courses

Arrowhead has on-campus vocational electives, including auto shop (preparing cars to be sold in our Annual Auto Auction) and wood shop. Arrowhead also utilizes programming offered by the University of Illinois to provide numerous classes in life skills and human development.

Employment Services

Employment services are offered prior to a resident’s release from Arrowhead.  Arrangements can be made to refer a young adult to employment or military service. Staff provides assistance in contacting Partners in Job Training, Job Service, Job Corps, and military recruiters.
