Group Therapy: Youths attend 1-2 groups each week. Group therapy can be a powerful factor for facilitating positive changes in young adults. While many times adolescents struggle with listening to adults, they often will listen to their peers during therapy. Another important factor for helping adolescents overcome their substance abuse problems is allowing them to have fun in a structured setting while sober. To accomplish this, we do many activities with the teens: bowling, playing pool, games, hiking, etc. Individual Therapy: Youths will meet with a therapist once a week to work on a variety of issues. This is a chance for the adolescent to explore her or his thoughts and feelings in a safe and comfortable setting. Family Therapy: Research has shown that family involvement increases the success of adolescent treatment. We feel that family therapy can be an essential factor in helping teenagers make positive changes. Our goal is to see the family of each teen in the program at least once a month in therapy. | |||||
