Residential Juvenile Sex Offender Treatment Program
Mille Lacs Academy offers three residential juvenile sex offender treatment
programs for males ages 10 to 19 years old. The older adolescent program
allows a resident to stay until his 19th birthday if he has been certified
under Extended Juvenile Jurisdiction.
Developmentally Delayed Juvenile Sex Offender Treatment Program
This residential treatment program provides specialized treatment to males
ages 14 to 18 who have either been adjudicated for a sexual offense or
who struggle with problematic sexual behaviors. These youth are developmentally/cognitively
challenged with IQs between 55 and 70 and do not experience significant
medical difficulties.

This program provides an eight-bed homelike setting for males ages 14 to
19 during their final stages of treatment. They learn to develop independent
living skills needed for successful community reintegration.
