Treatment Process:
The goal of our program is to help the adolescent to make better
choices through helping them have an understanding of how their
poor choices have affected them. We capitalize on the
adolescents’ strengths and assist them in being able to make the
changes necessary to make positive choices to establish a more
healthy future. We provide a safe, secure, and Serene
setting to allow treatment to truly begin. Family involvement
is essential to make lasting change. For the adolescent to
get the full benefit of our program, the family must be active
participants in the treatment process. Family Therapy occurs
on a regular basis and is a critical part of our program to ensure
long-term success of the child. Village Behavioral Health’s
Alcohol & Drug Program follows the 12-step model and utilizes local
12-step groups. Each child begins their treatment within the
12-step model and engages in both on-campus and off campus
groups. Adolescents are also introduced to relapse prevention
and guided in gaining control over their substance abuse and
addiction. Village Behavioral Health provides 24-hour
supervision and an intensive therapeutic experience.
Adolescents engage in individual therapy, group therapy, family
therapy, activity therapy, a vocational program, and a full
academic program during their stay with Village Behavioral
Health. Each child receives an individualized treatment plan
addressing his or her specific needs. At admission,
adolescents become members of a group. This group supports
each other in a positive way to allow each individual adolescent to
learn positive social skills.
