Adolescent Substance Abuse
Burrell’s Youth Substance Abuse treatment program is known for its practical, effective and evidence-based approach. We provide help for alcohol and drug-abusing adolescents, as well as their families. Our program features an abstinence-based treatment program model that focuses on the development of healthy behaviors and lifestyle choices. We teach:
  • Honesty rather than denial
  • Approach rather than avoidance
  • Logic rather than impulsivity
  • Empathy rather than insensitivity
  • Personal responsibility over victimization
Every adolescent has exceptional individual strengths – our goal is to help identify and build upon those unique strengths.

If you have a child aged 12 through 17 who is experiencing problems associated with substance abuse, we can help.

Services are structured to meet a child’s individualized needs, and can include:
  • residential treatment,
  • day treatment, and/or
  • outpatient services
In addition to individual counseling, the program is enhanced with family counseling where parents are expected to participate, as well as group education and therapeutic recreational activities to promote healthy and positive social interactions.

Interested in learning more? Our professional staff are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to answer your questions. A subsequent face-to-face interview with one of our clinical team members will determine if your child will benefit from our substance abuse treatment services.

Most insurance and Medicaid accepted.

What other families are saying about Youth Substance Abuse Services:

“Thank you for giving us our son back. We were amazed that after 14 years of teaching him right from wrong, two months with the wrong peers had eroded the strong foundation we had provided. He became argumentative, angry, and secretive almost overnight. We knew he was lying to us, we just didn’t know how to reach him. You found him and returned him to us. I can’t thank you enough.”

“My daughter always struggled with self-esteem -- she didn’t feel pretty, and always complained that she didn’t fit in anywhere. School was always a struggle, grades were low and she would rather stay home than attend classes. The family component of your program has done wonders for us, as we were all impacted by her negative behaviors. My daughter is now a honor roll student and even had perfect attendance last year! Thank you!”
