We offer a uniquely successful age- specific model of Intensive Outpatient treatment targeting young adults, 18-25 years of age. Our one-year program is comprised of a six- month intensive module that meets 3 times a week for group sessions and once a week for individual counseling. Determined by the individual’s progress, they transition into six-months of After Care. The intensity of services for teens vary from 4-months to a 12-month program, determined by assessment and the youths’ demonstrated ability to acquire a support system that can maintain a prolonged recovery. Both treatment models combine therapeutic intervention, education and counseling in group, individual and family sessions. The distance between daily drug use and abstinence is sometimes too big for a teenager to jump. We help youth (ages 14-18) identify the many milestones between active use and recovery, breaking the treatment process into smaller steps that teens can achieve, one at a time.
