• Teens: Six 90-minute process group sessions, various days of the week, 3:30 to 5 p.m.

The Adolescent Intervention Group is served by the same highly trained staff as the other addiction services. All care is supervised by a physician so that any coexisting mental or physical health issues can be addressed in the treatment plan.

Adolescent Early Recovery

The Adolescent Early Recovery Program is designed for adolescents needing step-down therapy after the group program, or for others entering early recovery. Sessions are held once a week for eight weeks, with the option to extend for an additional eight weeks.
