Substance Abuse Assessment: A comprehensive and thorough assessment that will provide insight on the extent of youth’s substance use, the risk for progression, the level of care needed for healing and future sobriety, and recommendations and referral for treatment services.

Outpatient Family and Individual Counseling: Individual and family therapy for adolescents and children can be arranged for life adjustment, substance abuse, and mental health problems. Sessions are typically once per week.  Motivational enhancement counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (eliminating self-defeating behavior), and solution-focused techniques are employed to maximize a client’s strengths and to support ongoing sobriety and healing.  Psychiatric testing and mental health counseling is also available.

Parent Mentor: A parent advocate to assist families who are involved in the Network 180 service array to navigate through the system as well as provide opportunities for feedback and support.
