The Youth Recovery Program (YRP) provides comprehensive
out-patient treatment through which clients start exploring and resolving
their drug and/or alcohol issues. The therapeutic program takes place in a
structured, monitored, and supportive environment. YRP helps participants
and their families develop healthy attitudes and behaviors that are
essential for long-term recovery from alcoholism and chemical dependency.
YRP has 2 fundamental goals. First, to enable our clients
to gain insight into the negative effects their substance abuse is having
in their lives. Second, to assist our clients in attaining workable,
positive alternatives to substance use that they can integrate into their
lives. Through individual and family counseling, group and multi-family
therapy, chemical dependency evaluation and the Seven Challenges workbook,
our clients and their families learn to seek positive alternatives to
substance abuse.
