A judge on Wednesday ordered that Ethan Couch -- who drove drunk and caused a crash , killing four people and injuring two -- go to a lock-down residential treatment facility . State District Judge Jean Boyd had already decided the Texas teenager would serve no jail time . He was sentenced last year to 10 years ' probation . His story made national headlines after a witness claimed Couch was a victim of `` affluenza '' -- the product of wealthy , privileged parents who never set limits for the boy . That particular defense , however , played no part in the judge 's decision , Couch 's lawyer told reporters on Wednesday . Court proceedings were closed to the public . `` She ( Boyd ) said it ( affluenza ) , and specifically mentioned that that was not a basis for her decision , '' said attorney Reagan Wynn . `` She heard all the evidence and she made what she thought was the appropriate disposition . '' 'Affluenza ' defense psychologist : ' I wish I had n't used that term ' The judge ordered that Couch 's parents pay for the treatment facility , which was not identified . It was also unclear how long Couch might stay there . As part of his probation , the teen must refrain from using drugs or alcohol . He will also not be allowed to drive . If Couch violates the terms of his probation , he could face up to 10 years behind bars . `` I think he can be rehabilitated given intensive therapy and I hope that he gets it , '' Wynn said about the teen . `` The juvenile system is about rehabilitation and if it 's going to be about rehabilitation , she ( Boyd ) absolutely made the right decision . '' Eric Boyles , who lost his wife and daughter in the crash , disagrees . He told reporters he has no doubt that money played a role in the case . Steering teen drivers out of harm 's way . `` Had he ( Couch ) not had money to have the defense there , to also have the experts testify , and also offer to pay for the treatment , I think the results would have been different , '' he said Wednesday after the proceedings . Last June , his wife , Hollie Boyles , and daughter , Shelby , left their home to help Breanna Mitchell , whose SUV had broken down . Brian Jennings , a youth pastor , was driving past and also stopped to help . All four were killed when the teen 's pickup plowed into the pedestrians on a road in Burleson , south of Fort Worth . Couch 's vehicle also struck a parked car , which then slid into another vehicle headed in the opposite direction . Opinion : 'Affluenza ' is n't as crazy as it sounds . Two people riding in the bed of the teen 's pickup were tossed in the crash and severely injured . One is no longer able to move or talk because of a brain injury , while the other suffered internal injuries and broken bones . According to prosecutors , three hours after the crash , tests showed Couch had a blood alcohol content of 0.24 , three times the legal limit . `` There has been nothing from Ethan from these proceedings with regards to remorse on his part at all -- that I do think would have helped . It would have helped the victims . No doubt about it , it would have helped , '' said Boyles . Prosecutors were similarly disappointed with the judge 's decision . They had asked for the maximum of 20 years behind bars . `` This has been a very frustrating experience for me , '' said prosecutor Richard Alpert . `` I 'm used to a system where the victims have a voice and their needs are strongly considered . The way the system down here is currently handled , the way the law is , almost all the focus is on the offender . '' 'Affluenza ' : Is it real ?
The lock-down residential treatment facility is not identified . The teen 's family will foot the bill . In a statement to CNN, the Department of Health and Human Services said it was aware of the case but declined further comment.
