    Groups

    All groups meet 2 times per week for 8 weeks, totaling 16 sessions and have an open enrollment. Each group session is 90 minutes long.

    Gateway Intervention Group

    Our Gateway Intervention Group is designed for adolescents, teensagers, and young adults experiencing school, work, legal, or family consequences related to their substance involvement.

    Participants will learn about the disease model of addiction and related information and strategies, including the following:

    • The stages of change
    • The risk and harmful effects of substance abuse
    • Self-motivation
    • Mood regulation
    • Breaking addictive behavior patterns
    • Coping strategies
    • Getting needs met through a substance free lifestyle
    • The key to overcoming addictive behaviors

    This group meets 2 times per week for 8 weeks, totaling 16 sessions. Two of the sessions are designated “multi-family” group and involve the family members of each participant. Adolescent, teenager, and young adult groups run separately and have no affiliation with each other, besides subject matter.

    Random drug testing is crucial to effective substance abuse treatment and is administered four times over the course of the 16 group sessions.
