Emotionally Disturbed Childrens' Residential Treatment Facility: how many are there, and how many are in private practice?

National totals

What this specialty covers

A residential facility that provides habilitation services and other care and treatment to children diagnosed with mental health illness, behavioral issues, and intellectual disabilities and are not able to live independently.

Reading the sole-proprietor share

For this specialty, 485 active records, or 14.8%, are flagged as sole proprietors in NPPES. The flag is a self-reported NPPES field, so it is an imperfect proxy for private practice and does not by itself establish legal ownership, independence, or how a residential facility operates.

By state

New NPI registrations by year

Counts reflect the year each NPI was first issued, among records still active today. The final year is partial: this data covers through 2026-01-11.

Data notes

• The sole-proprietor field is self-reported by the provider in NPPES and is an imperfect proxy for private practice.
• A sole-proprietor count shown as <11 is suppressed: the true value is below 11, which could include zero.
• An NPI record is an identifier, so the count may not equal the number of distinct facilities, programs, or operating sites.
• State totals use NPPES registration information and may not describe every location where a facility delivers services.
• First-enumeration year reflects NPI timing, not when a facility opened or began providing care.
• Providers are counted once, by their primary taxonomy code only.
