Therapy Program

Group Therapy consists of a minimum of ten (10) small group therapy sessions weekly of one hour each. These groups include substance abuse and 12-Step programs, problem-solving, social skills workshops, anger management, moral reasoning, positive peer culture, student community groups, leadership training, empathy development, victim awareness, and special interest groups. All group processes foster emotional growth in a safe and confidential setting. In group, students are able
to identify and express their thoughts and feelings about past problem behaviors, and are confronted by their peers for any remnants of denial that may be keeping them from making positive changes in their lives. This process provides information to the students about chemical dependency, communication, assertiveness skills, sexuality, self-control, coping skills, conflict resolution, family dynamics, stress reduction, and a variety of related topics.

Individual Therapy is provided to each student with a minimum of one (1) session weekly. Therapists are available for youth on a rotational basis, twenty-four hours a day. These one-on-one sessions give the students an opportunity to establish a trusting relationship with their counselor. In this setting, students are able to discuss issues that might be too sensitive for them to share with the group.

Substance Abuse & Addiction Treatment Programming is specifically designed to address the competing intrapersonal and family issues that fuel adolescent addiction problems. Recovery is facilitated through group therapy, AA/NA meetings, Living in balance program, addiction groups, guest speakers, relevant readings and therapeutic assignments.

Family Therapy is provided weekly via teleconference. This therapy allows the parents to remain part of the treatment. We encourage families to visit on a planned family weekend. During their planned visitation, the family and student meet together with the student's primary therapist. Parents and their children participate in family therapy sessions, workshops, and seminars held with other families whoare in attendance.
