Adolescent Treatment
Adolescent treatment is a highly specialized place in the substance disorders field. The staff at TOWTC understands and appreciates this aspect; as such our Clinical Director has developed programs specialized for this type of care. The staff at TOWTC are trained in the application of these programs and supervised where needed.
Adolescent dependency disorders need to begin with careful diagnostics as many adolescents have behavioral problems and not addictive disorders. When an individual is diagnosed as having an alternate disorder the staff at TOWTC will assist families in finding the best care for their child. If a dependency disorder is identified the clinician will present all the potential resources and/or options for qualified care.
At TOWTC, we appreciate the need to involve the whole family in an adolescent’s treatment as often times there are systemic issues. Our treatment approaches are based upon the foundations of compassion and empathy. We apply only evidence based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, 12 step Facilitation, Schema Therapy, Mindfulness and Relaxation Therapy, Bibliotherapy, Healthy Self talk, Psycho-pharmaceutical Interventions, and Family Counseling.
