30-Day Adolescent Chemical Dependency Program

The 30-Day Adolescent Chemical Dependency Program is a short-term program that focuses on trauma-focused therapy modalities to get at the root causes of substance abuse and help teens break the larger cycle of addiction. Each patient completes six focused areas for treatment during their 30-day stay at River Park Hospital. These treatment areas include daily homework assignments, which are discussed in both the Chemical Dependency groups and individual setting. Treatment focus areas include:

Why the patient uses alcohols/drugs in dealing with past traumas
Family trauma, dynamics, history and re-integration
Addiction and the desperation to numb

Effective management of stressors
Returning to the community and further  treatment
Individual relapse prevention and planning
