Alcohol and Drug Defense

We provide two tracks in drug defense. Each track is designed to deal with different levels of problems that are present. Each track is administered in our unique style of providing education, guidance and counseling to help adolescents and families overcome problems with substance abuse.

Track I - 4 weeks

Youth involved in this level have a wide range or experiences from first time arrests to more serious users.
Referrals from the courts for drug and alcohol prevention and education for first time offenders and their families.
Frank discussions address the part substances play in their lives.
Track II - 28 weeks

These youth require much more intensive interventions and family involvement after they have been assessed and found to be drug dependent
Drug use is a major problem in their lives interfering with their school and family as well as causing more serious difficulties in the community
