The trained medical staff provides an intensive outpatient program in which your child will come in for group therapy twice a week for 10 weeks. They’ll learn coping skills for high-risk situations.

The staff can provide home-based intervention services for kids, including individual therapy or family sessions. They provide community resources for families as well. Morrow also have some local sites that can serve as outlets for stress. Shirley and Wendall Watterson Park is within driving distance and offers a chance to unwind and exercise.
Teens often start using substances due to low self-esteem. They offer self-esteem therapy for girls once a week for six weeks. Girls will learn how to avoid negative thought patterns. They’ll talk about their own self-worth and goals for their lives. That way, they can find healthier ways to cope and prevent their dependence on drugs from escalating.
Kids who have developmental issues may use substances as a coping mechanism.
The staff is trained to deal with kids who have developmental disabilities. This may include epilepsy, cerebral palsy, or autism. They can refer kids to vocational training and supported job services.
