[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Our therapists use the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) evidence-based substance abuse treatment practice. This model engages clients in three-to six-months of treatment, including individual sessions, and sessions engaging family members. A-CRA enables therapist to address clients’ individual needs through the encouragement of pro-social behaviors, analysis of substance use, training in communication and problem-solving skills, and caregiver-adolescent relationship improvement.
88% of youth developed and used refusal skills effectively.
