Care levels at Five Acres Boys and Girls Aid Society of LA

Admissions without these four documented carry material risk of post-admission financial disagreement.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Young adults, Clients who have experienced trauma, Persons with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
