Adolescent Substance Abuse Counseling and Intervention

Students can drop in to share concerns, receive assessments and access ongoing counseling through the S.A.F.E. Program, while the Connections outpatient program provides higher level intervention for adolescents and families.
When students require detox or medication assisted treatment, they can refer you to another organization to provide you with the services you need. Your essions use a solution focused counseling approach with practical feedback to help clients resolve current challenges and change behavioral patterns. Treatment includes drug and alcohol screening, educational and support groups, relapse prevention and aftercare services, with preliminary consultations offered free of charge.
Family Centered Recovery Support
