Service options include:

Assessment

Determines if an adolescent has a substance abuse/dependence diagnosis, if treatment is recommended and the appropriate level of care to best address the needs of the adolescent. Collateral data is also collected from parents, family members, school staff and other pertinent sources in order to make an accurate recommendation and referral.

Treatment

A highly structured primary treatment program, adolescents spend days in treatment and one evening per week in the family program.

Lodging Plus Program

This primary treatment option is designed for young people who need a structured and stabilizing program while in treatment.

• Boys Lodging Plus - Chisago City
• Adolescent Female Lodging Plus - Crystal

Continuing Care

Adolescents work to maintain the new behaviors they learned in treatment through a structured program that includes family, individual and group counseling. Adolescents return to their own school and attend Continuing Care in the afternoon. Continuing Care provides a practical opportunity for
the adolescent to integrate their treatment, school, home and social life. Several levels of Continuing Care services are available from 1-3 days a week, depending on individual need.

Family Involvement

Chemical dependency involves each family member - not just the adolescent. In our experience, family recovery can be achieved with the consistent, active involvement of all family members. To help foster this involvement, a special family program continues throughout treatment. During inpatient, residential, or outpatient treatment, all families are scheduled to attend Family Week, a four-day combination of lectures and groups designed to help families understand chemical dependency and to guide families toward recovery. Weekly family group is available at each site for families involved
with treatment and aftercare. This service is provided without additional cost to the family.
