Twin Cedars Youth and Family Services – Community Counseling

Twin Cedars Youth and Family Services – Community Counseling is located in LaGrange, Georgia. They provide community based services for people in and around the LaGrange area. They have a wide range of programs to help prevent alcohol and other substance abuse as well as help with behavioral challenges and trauma related to sexual abuse. They strive to meet your individual needs and those of the community. Their residential and outpatient programs are centered around prevention, education and advocacy.

They have a Partners In Prevention Project at this treatment center that’s designed to prevent substance abuse among youth and provide resources and training. They also provide services to any partners within the community who try to battle drug and alcohol abuse. One of the main goals of this program is to reduce access to alcohol and binge drinking among 9-20 year olds. They also want to reduce and change the perception of marijuana use for 9-17 year olds.

Another unique program they have here is called Connections. It’s a step down program for residents aged 14-21 with a sexually aggressive history who have recently completed an intensive treatment program. It’s designed to foster long term success by connecting you to family, resources and a community. You’ll get education and guidance in substance abuse and relapse prevention, help with social skills and problem solving and develop daily living skills like money management. They’ll also help you apply for college or trade schools.

They have lessons about healthcare and fitness as well as education about understanding sexuality and healthy personal values. Another unique service they provide is two separate programs that are based on foster care for children and youth and an alternative to foster care for families in need.

Twin Cedars also offers the Bradfield Center which is a residential program for boys. It helps 9-17 year old boys who are dealing with trauma from sexual abuse and facing behavioral problems as a result.

What I really like about this treatment center is the diverse set of programs they have available that are also pretty unique. They seem to have a “no one left behind mentality.” Plus, they have a fully accredited school on site.
