Adolescents Program
Currently based at the Fort Washington Counseling Center, these education and awareness programs allow young patients to maintain academic schedules. We also involve families actively, because addiction affects everyone, not just the confused youngster who's looking for escape, acceptance or a way to feel better at a tough time in life.
Treatment options are available to young people in school or the healthcare system that need help before they "go over the line;" parents searching for a resource for information and guidance; and agencies referring adolescents that may not need intensive outpatient care but have an identified problem.
With our "continuum of care" we can provide the same service to teens and college-age individuals as for adults. In an assessment, we can identify someone's particular need, be it intensive outpatient or just a awareness course, and the patient can go directly there to receive the help required.
