Munson Medical Center’s Adolescent Treatment
program was developed with the strong belief that adolescent substance
abuse is a treatable problem. Through appropriate treatment of
the whole family and the development of strong post-treatment
supports, the young person can develop a chemical-free lifestyle.
Treatment
Our treatment considers each participant’s
individual differences and tailors a program to maximize positive
outcomes. The services allow the teen to live at home and stay
in school while addressing their relationship with chemicals.
Family involvement is essential for a positive outcome, as it
helps increase communication and support.
The services include individual, group, and
family counseling, along with oral presentations. Close contact
is maintained with referral sources to coordinate and maximize
the effectiveness of treatment.
Goals
Our program has several goals including:
Understanding the disease concept of chemical
dependency and co-dependency.
Accepting personal responsibility for behavior.
Improving family communication.
Developing a sober social network.
Being involved in AA or NA.
Improving daily functioning.
Experiencing recreational alternatives
to substance abuse.
Having a healthier lifestyle.
