The Broward Youth Treatment Center BYTC provides substance abuse treatment services to males, ages 13 to 18, in a non-secure residential commitment program while providing gender-specific programming for boys with program components and services that comprehensively address the special needs of adolescent boys.
BYTC provides behavioral health services, psycho-educational groups, anger management, victim awareness, social skills, moral development, and gang intervention. The program also provides individualized mental health and substance abuse services in a trauma-focused, restraint-free environment for the youth.
The anticipated average length of stay depends on the youth's pace of success in completing the individualized treatment plan and goals. Broward Youth Treatment Center is a Type 2 program. Broward County Schools provides the educational and vocational services of this program. Broward Youth Treatment Center BYTC provides three vocational training programs that offer industry-recognized certifications as follows:.
Barber Program: The youth will learn effective communication skills, visual poise, and proper grooming, delivering worthy service for value in an employer-employee relationship, skills in the areas of hair styling, hair shaping, hair coloring, texture services, scalp and hair conditioning, shaves, mustache and beard trims, hair pieces and the analytical skills to determine the best possible style for each customer.
Culinary Arts: In conjunction with a national food service provider, youth in the program will take part in a culinary training program with the goal to learn all aspects of food service operations that include safe food practices, prevention of food-borne illnesses, personal health and work habits, dishwashing and sanitation, temperature control, pest control, good housekeeping, safety practices and overall food service responsibilities.

Alternatives to Formal Processing of Juvenile Cases There are a number of alternatives to formal processing of cases involving juveniles that have been developed County wide over the last dozen or so years. In addition to youth falling within this criteria, youth who are 12 years of age or younger can be referred to diversion for any offense and, on a case by case basis, youth who have significant mental disabilities can be referred to specialized diversion for any offense.
Sexually reactive youth who are very young or involve intra-familial victimization can also be referred to specialized diversion program for treatment as it would be very difficult to prosecute these youth and the ultimate goal is to get them services to hopefully curve the problem behavior.
We have a total of 12 different diversion programs located through the county. These programs offer an array of services and interventions that range from therapies for low level offenders who are at low risk to re-offend to specialized, deeper end programs that deal with sex offenders, youth with mental health issues, deep rooted behavioral issues and families experiencing familial problems that contribute to delinquency.
Upon successful completion of diversion, the case is declined. Youth who initially refuse to participate in diversion programs are given a subsequent opportunity to participate in diversion after the case is filed. The cases of youth who wish to avail themselves of this opportunity have their cases held in abeyance for days.
If they successfully complete the program within that time and remain arrest free, the case is nolle prosequi. The first is for youth charged with misdemeanor, non-violent 3rd degree felony or with 2nd degree felony offenses involving the purchase of a controlled substance who are identified as having substance abuse issues or being at risk for such.
Qualifying youth must not have previously been convicted of a felony offense. The second track is designed for youth who are identified as having substance abuse problems but who do not fit the above requirements. Under both tracks juveniles are able to partake in community-based treatment programs, intensive case management services, and whatever other types of assistance they may need to avoid reliance on controlled substances all under judicial supervision.
