A basic principle under which Growing Home Southeast operates is that children and families should be served in a manner and setting that is most like their normal routine. When drastic interventions are used, such as removal from the home, we believe clients should continue to be served in a home setting with structure and supportive services in order to address relevant treatment issues. At Growing Home Southeast, Inc. we routinely track and measure outcomes to improve existing programs and meet newly identified needs in the communities that we serve. Our services are accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA).
