Medical Services • The Youth Center Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment

Our most intensive treatment program

Our goal is for your child to learn a new way of living in a context of personal responsibility and abstinence. At this level, we feel the best way to start is to provide a safe and healthy environment in which to begin his or her recovery.

We recommend this program for those we feel cannot be successfully treated while living at home. If your child has a severe chemical and substance abuse dependency - has tried to quit multiple times and failed, or has become physical and tried to hurt himself/herself or someone else - the Residential Treatment Program could be the best answer.

A comprehensive program

The Residential Treatment program offers:

• Individual, group and family counseling
• Medical and psychiatric assessment
• On-call nursing support 24/7
• A structured daily schedule

Your commitment

We require a commitment from you and your teen for the duration of the treatment. This highly structured, interdisciplinary residential approach will encompass every aspect of your adolescent’s life including family dynamics, school performance, social relations, decision-making, nutrition, spirituality and physical well-being. We will empower your child to learn what is truly important to make the necessary lifestyle changes.
