Sometimes, adolescents develop problems
related to alcohol or drug abuse. When this happens, Preferred Family Healthcare can help. We provide substance abuse treatment tailored to fit each adolescent's needs.
Preferred Family Healthcare provides a full continuum of care from residential and day treatment to intensive outpatient, outpatient, and aftercare.
Treatment in all programs may include
group therapy, family therapy, individual counseling, alcohol and drug education, recreational therapy, relapse prevention, introduction to support groups, and life skills training.
With admission into Preferred Family Healthcare
each teen is assigned a therapist and a community support worker. Our staff therapists are certified or qualified substance abuse counselors. Therapists counsel teens one-on-one as well as in group
settings on topics such as: anger management, communication, relapse, prevention and family issues. They help educate teens about the negative effects of substance abuse and teach them the skills
needed to support a healthy lifestyle, free of alcohol and drugs.
Our Community Support Workers serve
as the liason to school, medical professionals, juvenile justice professionals and family agencies. CSW's also help adolescents learn life skills and access community resources for assistance
with education and health care. CSW's also address how to have sober "fun" and encourage healthy social activities including sports, games, and hobbies.
After any kind of substance abuse treatment
most adolescents need continuing support. Preferred Family Healthcare offers this ongoing support through counseling and groups. Aftercare addresses issues such as structured independence, responsibility, healthy relationships and peer interaction.
