Starting this year off, we’d like to share a reminder of the life-changing services we offer at Nexus-Indian Oaks. Our Residential Treatment Programs provide youth with a safe, supportive environment to heal and grow. Each young person receives an individualized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs—because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Through trauma-informed care, we help youth build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create brighter futures. As we step into 2026, we remain committed to transforming lives and strengthening families.

Together, let’s make this year a fresh start for those who need it most. Learn more about our programs and how we create hope and healing here; https://buff.ly/hZ492Rp

Winter is the season of stillness. We are often under a constant barrage of “new year, new me” messaging. The idea of rebuilding ourselves and the pressure to make big changes is everywhere.

Our Story

Nexus-Indian Oaks Family Healing has earned a national reputation as an outstanding residential treatment provider for hard-to-place boys and girls, ages 12-21, who have exhibited problematic sexual behaviors, patterns of abusive behavior, and lack of empathy. Sexuality therapy includes sessions addressing inappropriate sexual behaviors and perpetration, and the resolution of personal victimization issues.

Nexus-Indian Oaks is located approximately 50 miles south of Chicago, in the small, rural community of Manteno, IL. Our campus features cottages with private bedrooms that provide safety and comfort for youth in residence. Treatment programs focus on high-acuity youth who have exhibited sexually problematic behaviors, patterns of abusive behavior, and lack of empathy, with and without accompanying intellectual disability.

Nexus-Indian Oaks has expanded services to help youth in foster care, those who are at-risk, and those who need continued care through aftercare services.
