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 have evolved over the years to specialize in serving children and adolescents.

Nexus offers specialized treatment for

  • Harmful Sexual Behaviors
  • Developmental Disability with Harmful Sexual Behaviors or Behavioral Disorders
  • Behavioral & Emotional Disorders
  • Intensive Inpatient Psychiatric Care
  • Specialized Foster Care
  • Adoption
  • In-Home Counseling

Today, Nexus operates 4 residential treatment sites with COA-accredited programming and year-round, on-site schools, as well as inpatient psychiatric programs, aftercare services including specialized foster care, referrals to other treatment providers, in-home counseling services, and ongoing support. Youth who successfully complete a Nexus treatment program have a recidivism rate well below the national average.
