ACT Residential Treatment Handbook (PDF)
ACT is a 10-bed residential facility for adolescents experiencing problems due to a substance use disorder. The program is staffed 24 hours a day by licensed clinicians and youth care technicians and provides teens with a safe, trauma informed environment to begin their recovery. Check out the ACT Brochure for a full overview (PDF).
ACT has provided affordable and effective substance use disorder treatment for over 35 years. Our program utilizes evidence-based practices to help adolescents understand the harmful effects of alcohol and other drug use and develop the necessary attitudes and skills to support recovery.
ACT treatment goals are:
- To identify the benefits of a clean and sober lifestyle.
- To improve family relationships, academic performance, and legal issues impacted by their substance use.
- To address co-occurring mental health concerns
- To develop an individualized recovery plan.
Eligibility:
- Adolescents 12 to 18 years of age.
- An alcohol and drug assessment must indicate the need for residential treatment.
- Free of the need for major medical or psychiatric services.
