Nexus: A Leader in Residential Treatment Services for 40 Years
Nexus, a nonprofit, 501(C)3 organization, has been a leader in youth residential
treatment services for nearly 40 years. Beginning in the early 1970s as a small,
adult male felon program in Minnesota, Nexus services evolved over the years to
specialize in serving children and adolescents.
Throughout the 1990s, our locations grew to two states and five specialized treatment
areas. Today, we are known as a national leader in providing residential treatment
services for youth who have exhibited
- - harmful sexual behaviors,
- - behavioral or emotional disorders,
- - developmental disability with harmful
sexual behaviors or behavioral disorders,
- - or who require intensive inpatient psychiatric care.
Our current locations include
- Mille Lacs Academy in Onamia, MN
- Gerard Academy in Austin, MN
- Onarga Academy in Onarga, IL
- Indian Oaks Academy in Manteno, IL
Our locations provide
- Unique, home-like settings
- Fully licensed programming
- On-site schools
- Vocational skills training (Illinois sites)
Our integrated, relationship-based approach lends to a re-offense rate that
is well below the national average.
We have changed lives through our cornerstone values for four decades, and we have
transformed innumerable lives. Let us help you.
