The foundation of RES SUCCESS is our exceptional staff, and
our low staff-to-student ratio. Because our program is structured as
a school environment, it fosters warm student/teacher type relationships.
Our key staff includes a staff clinician; a full-time behaviorist;
nurse; office manager; and a family therapist, as well as the caring
staffs that work at each of our facilities.
RES SUCCESS offers its students psychotherapy, individual
and group counseling, as well as anger management. Additionally, our
program features art instruction, golf lessons, and a PE/yoga/nutrition
instructor through a partnership with the Martinez Adult School,
Martinez Leisure Services, and the Mt. Diablo Adult School.
