Northwoods is committed to bringing value and an individualized program to each of our students and their families. All of our settings are comfortable, wholesome and unique. Our schedule permits the resident and our staff to alternate among our sites to develop consistency and healthy relationships throughout.  We welcome you to call us or visit any or all of our sites.
