CODAC Behavioral Health Services – Step Forward

About CODAC Behavioral Health Services – Step Forward – Tucson, Arizona

CODAC Behavioral Health Services – Step Forward was a drug and alcohol rehab facility located in Tucson, Arizona. They offered services to adolescents experiencing substance use disorder. It was part of a federal research project.

The program was designed to discover gaps in the mental health care of teens with substance use disorder. Teens in the program were given a full assessment to determine the severity of their addiction and what kind of treatment they needed.

The teen would be assigned a case manager who would refer them to mental health professionals who could provide them with group and individual therapy. Most therapists treat people with substance issues with behavioral therapy. This teaches people to think in a more positive, less fallacious way. It can also teach people coping mechanisms to deal with triggering situations.

When a teen finished the program, they would meet with the case manager again. They would retake the assessment to determine the progress they made. They were asked about their thoughts and feelings about treatment.
