title: Outcomes of family-centered residential treatment.
abstract: This article describes a family-centered residential treatment model and presents results from a quasiexperimental study examining its effectiveness in achieving permanency outcomes for children. Greater postdischarge stability was achieved for participants in the family-centered program than in the agency's standard residential treatment service. Implications for child welfare policy and practice are highlighted.
