Drug Awareness Program
Program Overview...
The Drug Awareness Program provides substance abuse screening, multi-family group services, and case management to adolescents who are determined to be appropriate for prevention or early intervention services.
Adolescents are referred to the Drug Awareness Program as a result of violating the school systems substance abuse policies or violating other alcohol or substance abuse laws. Adolescents who have been arrested, charged, cited, or referred as a result of a substance abuse related violation could be diverted to our program. Also, parent or family referrals for the program are accepted if the program is considered appropriate to meet the needs of the adolescent.
The program is distinctly focused on strengthening communities through building and strengthening families. The program functions from the assumption that each family has its own unique characteristics and properties that emerge and are apparent only when family members interact. The family is viewed as a "whole" rather than just the child and his/her behavior problems. Through education, interaction with others in the group, and promoting family and personal strengths, participants begin to recognize there is hope for positive outcomes.
