About Laurel Oaks Behavioral Health Center – Dothan
Addiction can start at an early age, and getting your child the right care while they’re still young can make an immense difference for them. That’s the focus of Laurel Oaks Behavioral Health Center. This facility is a behavioral health treatment center for kids and teens in Dothan, Alabama.
In this facility’s residential treatment program, they work with boys ages 10 to 18 and girls ages 12 to 18. They’re separated by age groups and genders so your child will be living with others in their same gender and age range.
The programs here are for not only kids and teens with addiction, but those who have psychiatric needs as well as those with a dual diagnosis. This means the kids who have both addiction and a mental health condition. In any case, your child’s program will be entirely tailored to them and what they need for health and wellness.
Individual therapy and group therapy are cornerstones of these programs. But your child will also develop important life skills too that will empower their growth and their life without drugs and alcohol. There are specialized groups for certain issues too like a grief and loss group and a self-injury group so your child will have the support of others who’re going through the same challenges. Throughout the program your child will be keeping up with their schoolwork too because the facility has individualized education onsite.
