Adolescent Inpatient Program

Developmental, environmental and emotional factors can sometimes make it difficult for adolescents to cope with the world around them. Some turn to drugs and alcohol in order to cope with the turmoil they feel. The L. E. Phillips-Libertas Center offers a quality adolescent treatment program to meet the special needs of chemically dependent adolescents and their families. The program includes evaluation, assessment, primary treatment and referral to other resources when appropriate.

Initial assessment and evaluation determines the adolescent's needs and the extent of the problem. If it is determined the adolescent is in need of treatment, he or she may be referred to primary inpatient treatment. Primary inpatient treatment is based on the foundation of the medical model and of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. During this phase, all aspects of the youth's life are examined through use of group therapy, peer interaction, one-to-one sessions, spiritual counseling and recreational therapy. The adolescent inpatient program is entirely separate from the adult program and is continuously supervised. Evening and weekend programming have enhanced the quality of this program.

A significant component of the Adolescent Inpatient Program is family involvement. Family members are educated about chemical dependency issues - specifically about how the disease has affected them. Parents and family are helped and supported to develop a more meaningful relationship with their child.
