Alabama Clinical School for Boys, located in Irondale, Alabama, is a specialized residential treatment facility that provides therapeutic services for male adolescents with emotional and behavioral issues. The school offers a structured environment with various clinical and educational programs designed to address the needs of its residents. These programs typically include individual and group therapy, psychiatric care, and academic instruction, aiming to support the boys in developing coping skills, improving their behavior, and achieving educational goals.
