Child & Adolescent (ages: 12-18)
Addiction Treatment
Does your child act out or struggle in school academically or socially? Can you not get through to your child? Do you think your child may have a mental health disorder? If so, you're not alone. We are here to help!
We specialize in treating addiction behaviors in adolescents and young adults ages 12 to 25. However, age is not a strict requirement for treatment.
What is Addiction Behavior?
Addiction behaviors are activities used in excess to the point of harming areas of life such as work, school, or social interaction. Often times this excessive use is to try and avoid reality or unpleasant emotions. It could also be described as distracting oneself from life problems or suppressing self-awareness. This could be playing 16 hours of video games each day, using drugs such as marijuana or alcohol, acting out, pushing others away, or pretending to be something/someone other than yourself.
What We Offer:
Diagnosis and treatment of the underlying reasons for addiction behavior. Such as a psychiatric or mental health disorder, a cognitive or "thinking" problem, or a physical health problem. We focus on prescribing medication(s) in conjunction with fundamental teachings of psychotherapy using a harm reduction model.
What is a Harm Reduction Model?
A harm reduction model for addiction treatment is a way to help people who use drugs to stay as safe and healthy as possible. Instead of requiring clients to stop using to receive treatment, harm reduction focuses on lowering the risks and problems that come with excessive (drug, porn, video game) use.
Some main points of this model include:
- Safety First: We help you use in a safer way to reduce the harm caused by using.
- Health Care Access: We make sure people can get care even if they are using illegal drugs or have a criminal history.
- Education: We teach about how addiction works in your mind and how to overcome it.
- Respect and Understanding: We treat people with respect and understanding, not judgment. Addiction makes you do things you would not normally do, and we are here to help you stop those behaviors.
