Treatment designed for adolescents
Science-based care
We use screening tools and assessments tailored to individuals under 21 to get a 360º picture of their unique circumstances, enabling us to tailor treatment strategies.
Strict clinical guidelines
Our providers adhere to stringent clinical guidelines and collaborate with PCPs to secure medical clearance to foster a seamless continuum of care.
Tailored consent protocol
We require treatment consent from both minors and guardians, ensuring confidentiality and offering diverse engagement opportunities for participating families in care.
Family support
Our substance use management program offers a wave of support for adolescents and their whole family.
The entire family is considered when a child is on their journey. We have special documentation for parents to guide and help them throughout. And adolescents are able to set limitations for how involved their parents or guardians are, which can evolve throughout their care.
