Treatment

Outpatient Treatment
In an outpatient program the teen attends counseling and/or other treatment regularly while living at home.

Inpatient Treatment
The youth resides either in a hospital or treatment facility, usually referred to as “residential.”

Residential Therapeutic
These are highly structured programs in which the youth/patient remains at a residence typically for 6-12 months. This type of treatment is suggested for people who have a history of drug dependence and/or related involvement in criminal activities.

Support Groups and Twelve-Step Programs
Support groups are designed to provide social and emotional support for those people that are breaking an addiction. Support groups are also helpful for family members and others that have been affected by the addictive behavior. Twelve-step programs, like AA, are self-help, non-counseling or therapy support groups that have been recognized as successful in maintaining sobriety or a drug-free lifestyle. These programs are based on 12 steps that were originated in the 1940s by the founders of AA.
