The Young Adult Program offered at the Sender and Juniper Houses, are residential homes located within a small neighborhood community in Albany, Oregon. The programs resemble that of a traditional group home.  Each resident has their own room and is encouraged to be an active member of the household, including participating in skills groups and helping out with everyday tasks.

While in the program, residents work toward building competency in the following areas: safety, independent living skills, compliance with program expectations, and readiness to begin taking further steps toward true independent living.

How we measure success: Each resident is given an Individualized Plan of Care, which outlines areas of focus in treatment as well as long- and short-term goals to measuring his or her progress. Goals are reviewed with the resident as well as the county to determine appropriateness and help evaluate readiness for graduation from the program. A typical length of stay is one year. When treatment goals are met, residents graduate from the program with a transition plan, including aftercare appointments with a psychiatrist, individual therapist, and any other follow up. Depending on their needs, residents may be recommended to utilize additional resources such as group therapy, further skills training, intensive outpatient treatment, and be referred to a primary care physician.
