We are a live-in health care facility providing trauma informed treatment to youth experiencing mental health concerns. As a Residential Treatment Facility, Fox Run treats both boys and girls, ages 5- 17 who are diagnosed with a psychiatric condition which requires long term placement. We have specialized treatment programs and living areas for small children ages 5-12 (our Little and Big Dreams), youth with Developmental Disabilities IQ 50-70 (our Visions Program), as well as clinical designed treatment for youth 12-17. We are located in the Ohio Valley amongst the rolling hills of St. Clairsville, Ohio, and we are accredited through both the Ohio Department of Mental Health and The Joint Commission.

While at Fox Run, this is a child’s home, and our goal is that they receive the treatment, care, social skills, and leadership interactions to give them a solid foundation for healing and hope. We want every child who enters our doors to be a future success; our goal is to make that happen. To achieve this we offer individual, group, and family therapies, have an exceptional activities therapy department, and a fully accredited school focusing on special educational needs that allows full transfer of credits earned back to their home district.

Fox Run stands out because of the dedicated staff that cares about our kids. Whether it is through Holiday celebrations, School Awards Ceremonies, or climbing our 40 foot Alpine tower for confidence, staff understands the unique needs of our children and are committed to their healthy development. Our staff includes psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, mental health technicians, activities therapists, and special education teachers. We are supported by a creative dietary and facilities staff committed to making a difference.

Youth come to us from a variety of settings including parents, counties, physicians, acute hospitals, and over 4 states in our region. All admissions are individualized for the needs of our youth. We want families and extended care providers involved whenever possible and we strive to provide a safe, structured, yet fun world. We help families understand that mental health concerns are like any other health issues and they are treatable.

Thank you for visiting Fox Run. Every visitor helps us help our children, and together we can make a difference in the lives of youth.
