About Youth180 – Dallas
Youth180, based at South Tyler Street in Oak Cliff, is a critical resource for young people in Dallas, Texas struggling with substance use. Its prominent site allows for easy access to those who need it most. The clinic provides more than just treatment. It offers a supportive environment where families and youth can feel heard and helped.
The facility believes that no two stories are the same, especially when it comes to substance use. Every young person who walks through their doors is treated as an individual with a plan designed specifically for them. They focus on creating plans that truly resonate with each person’s unique experiences. That might include one on one therapy, group therapy or family counseling.
Their staff is just as committed to preventing substance use as they are to treating it. The clinic offers prevention programs that focus on empowering youth to make healthier choices before addiction ever becomes a problem. Via education and outreach, young people learn about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. More importantly they’re given the tools to say no when faced with pressure.
This proactive approach is what makes Youth180 so valuable as it works to stop substance use before it even starts. The clinic also works closely with families, schools and local communities to create a network of support that helps young people thrive, both in and out of school.
The clinical team at Youth180 brings together a diverse group of professionals including licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors and chemical dependency counselors. Their expertise spans various therapy approaches, including World Health Organization-approved methods like trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) as well as family therapy.
